Update on Natalie--2 vets looked at her, drew a sample from the growth (which wasn't fluid filled), and concluded that it's a proliferated toe pad--which is an extension of the toe pad tissue. Apparently, this is something that happens in Saint Bernards, but not usually ducks. The vet compared...

Thank you, I will!

We have a vet appt on Monday!

Thank you!

Closeups

Sure, let me grab that.

Could it be fungal?

Here's a couple of close ups of the lumps:

Update--she is now almost fully grown, no squeaky breathing and perfectly healthy! :-)

They have a ramp going into their duck house, but otherwise, there are no ramps in their pen. They free range outside most days while we are home.

Hi everyone, My 4 year old Pekin, Natalie, has growths on the ends of each middle toe. I'm letting her soak in Epsom salts and keeping her separated from the others for now. Does this look like bumblefoot, or something else?

Hello, My 1 week old Aussie Spotted duckling recently started having this squeaky/wheezing breathing right after drinking water. The rest of the time, you can just barely hear a quiet little clicking sound when she breathes. I've switched out the bedding to kiln dried pine shavings, added...

Update--I moved the incubator to the same spot in my bedroom that I hatched last time (cleared out bookcase), and also bought new batteries for the built in thermometer/hygrometer (which only reads in Celcius). So I now have 3 thermometers in there! I'm just going to go by the Celcius temp...

Hi all! I am hatching 1 Call, 2 Australian Spotted, and 4 Welsh Harlequins. This is my second time hatching. The first time was 2 years ago, and it was a good hatch rate. I'm nervous this time though because of the smaller breeds, and now being at Day 21, I know that these little babies will...

Thank you, jtn42248. That's the consensus I'm getting on him/her :-) Now to wait and see if Razz is girl or a boy.

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me ID this baby. We found him/her abandoned at the pond we live next to :( We named him/her Razz. Very sweet and friendly, definitely was handled a lot by the previous owners. We were thinking Cayuga or Black Swedish...but now I'm wondering if Razz is a...

Hi all. One of my Pekin girls, Bev, had a cough last month. I put her and the rest of the flock on VetRX and VermX. She isn't coughing as much now, BUT I recently found a dead worm in their droppings that looks a lot like a tapeworm. Bev has also been losing a lot of feathers...at first I...

Hi, Last year, my male Welsh Harlequin had phallus prolapse. He had treatment of antibiotics, painkillers, and removal of the necrotic tissue. The remaining penis went back in successfully. He is a healthy boy and doing great. He still goes through the motions of mating, but I wonder if...

The ducks are enjoying our first big snowstorm of the year

Nellie and Leo, those cute babies pictured as my profile photo, are today 12 weeks old! And, to celebrate their birthday, they've decided to get frisky in the pool. Here is what happened: So, Nellie jumped in the pool and lay down flat, arched her back, and stuck her bum up. Leo started...
