    Pekin Duck...Seeking Guidance after Weeks with a Leg Injury

    The vitamin B just came ironically. I’ll be honest I haven’t done the splint yet. Will try tonight, long story. Is it possible that the boot will cause more hard than good if it’s been like that for too long? My wife doesn’t think it will work because her joint above the foot seems so stiff...

    Pekin Duck...Seeking Guidance after Weeks with a Leg Injury

    TSC is still out, will order it online. I have not made the boot yet, will try to figure it out tonight. She is ok, moves well in the water, just keeping her penned safe with the food and water. The swelling seems to be decreasing I think. Do some ducks just need more B, or it helps heal...

    I did not buy it, my gut told me to ask you first. :) I'll get my hands on the durvet. Thanks so much!

    Is this ok to use? They do not have durvet in stock. Same dosage? Thanks!

    Pekin Duck...Seeking Guidance after Weeks with a Leg Injury

    Very helpful, I tried doing this on my own, didn't think about aspiration. I put it on pellets and she eats it from my hand, so I went that route.

    Pekin Duck...Seeking Guidance after Weeks with a Leg Injury

    I am keeping her in her "sleeping quarters" now, which she was not pleased with lol. I assumed she would immobilize on her own, but I am thinking she has not allowed it to heal properly trying to limp around. Will pick up some B today. I squirted her meds on her food and to administer the...

    Pekin Duck...Seeking Guidance after Weeks with a Leg Injury

    Thanks Lydia, I feel it was an injury, but it's possible she had a lack of niacin at this time as they had free rein to duck pellets or chick starter. I will run out and grab some durvet, can I use a syringe to squirt it in her mouth?

    Pekin Duck...Seeking Guidance after Weeks with a Leg Injury

    That was the first injury to the left leg which is now healthy. This happened to the other leg shortly after.

    Pekin Duck...Seeking Guidance after Weeks with a Leg Injury

    Thank you for the advice! I will make a boot. That will be easy to make and less expensive than the one I found on amazon. Do you wrap the entire foot with the ankle or just enough to secure and let its foot breathe? She is eating duck pellets, so I assumed that was enough in terms of...

    Pekin Duck...Seeking Guidance after Weeks with a Leg Injury

    Thank you for your response. I suspect that she injured it getting out of the mini pool I set up. I built up around it so they get get in and out without injury but she used the side that did not have a ramp of course. No, the vet was not an avian specialist.
