Thank you so much the betadine was just what I needed. He actually had another infection on his left foot and the betadine did wonders for both of his feet!!! The swelling has gone down A LOT and on the other infection it’s no longer red and irritated. For the fatty one, the swelling has also...

@azygous any input?

I’ve tried to lance the wound with a blade this time and a lot of clear fluid came out however the fatty looking bubbles are solid. It isn’t waxy but really is squishy and part of his skin so I have no idea what’s going on!! I feel so sad for him this one area is causing him the most of his...

He was on baytril for four days. I’m wondering, how often should I be doing epsom salt soak, neosporin, etc. once or twice a day? I’ve been doing it one time a day every morning but I’m wondering if I should be doing it twice. it seems like it must really hurt for him :( during his warm bath...

An update after I tried to lance it. Nothing came out? Only a tiny bit of fluid so I tried again and… nothing? I’m so confused now it is squishy like there’s something inside but I try to lance it and nothing comes out. I feel bad for poking my boy for nothing. A bit of fluid, only the tiniest...

Unfortunately I’ve come across another problem. Just yesterday, this spot on his foot was fine. Well, it was raw but it’s as to be expected because the skin from the wound was starting to peel away to heal. But this morning I saw that it looked way different than yesterday. For one, it’s darker...

Hi! He’s doing better and actually trying to walk now. He’s doing the motion of walking but not able to actually lift himself up yet. For the weird lump on his wing, he actually bit it and popped it today by himself which is a bit of a relief because I wasn’t sure if I could be able to. There...

Sorry, it’s quite hard to get a picture I mostly feel it with my hands because there’s so many little feathers in the way even if I trimmed it. It feels like a callous and very firm. He doesn’t seem to like it when I touch it 😢 for now I’ve just been cleaning it and putting vetercyn and...

Not yet, my mom forgot the sterilized needle from her work so I reminded her today. It’s strange because instead of squishy and pink like yesterday it’s more like a scab now? It’s gotten dry and hard, is it still a good idea to try and lance it in this state?

He won’t stand in the water nor does he try to kick to swim, he just floats even when I try to bait him with tomatoes but he’ll kick his legs when he isn’t in water it’s a little weird. I’ll order some nutri drench and a mirror, thank you!

He has been taking warm baths which have helped him a lot with his wing which wasn’t opening up very much but now he can almost open it up all the way! I do think it has been helping him kick more and I try to just move his feet a bit since he hasn’t walked on them for so long I exercise his...

Hi Lydia! He is doing better than when I last took those photos. Almost all the blackness is gone and the skin on his ankle is starting to peel off with healing underneath. He developed a weird cyst on his wing, I saw you liked the post so I’m sure you’re aware. It doesn’t look to be infected so...

Thank you for your condolences, this is very hard since I’m only 17 and having to do all this by myself. This is the first poultry I’ve ever lost. I’m planning on adopting a duck around his age from a local rescue, hopefully, in the spring. I’ll try nutri drench and thank you very much! I’ve...

I was thinking of doing the shoe thing but didn’t know how so thank you! I’ve been giving him epsom salt soaks in a small tub (so he can’t drink or swim in it) but when I put him in a warm bath a day ago he seemed very happy and active, so I’ll do more of those. As for eating, he won’t eat his...

My duck was attacked by a raccoon three weeks ago. His brother sadly had to be put down yesterday because his leg issues were too severe to fix. However, my ducks legs look a lot better, not saying that means much, than his brother. After having to put his brother down, as they are both my first...
