    Why do ducks do this?

    They stick their beaks into the mud and gurgle it about and then proceed to clean their beaks by dunking it into the water, which causes it become instantly dirty and ready to change.

When I went to the vet he handed me a 10g sachet of sulfaclozine sodium monohydrate, which he said is the same as metronidazole, and medicates 30 liters of water...
