Not at all! Its in a pill form- he’s prescribed 50mg 2x a day but it was a little too intense for him so we backed it to half a pill (25mg) twice a day and it’s helped. I was surprised too but I had done some research in another disabled duck group I’m in and apparently tramadol + meloxicam...

We are on Meloxicam + tramadol now for pain management. Since the vet leaned toward it being arthritic vs infectious based on the joint tap, he added the tramadol but we’ve been on the meloxicam it does seem to help but the addition of the tramadol really helped improve things in terms of him...

Just an update - I weighed him a couple days ago and while he hasn’t lost anymore weight, he hasn’t gained any either. He did not like the dog food so I thought I’d increase mealworms maybe and treats? It’s probably not enough to cut it. Meanwhile I’ve tried to encourage him to eat more of...

I do! I can try that. The dog food we give our dog is pretty fancy- it’s beef/barley. I guess the kind doesn’t matter much it’s just the protein right? Thank you so much!

Any advice on how to help him gain weight? I ordered the probiotics but they won’t arrive til Friday. I’ve been offering frozen peas and melon in the mornings which he’s eating. Peas again during his swim time. Pellets all day, which he may or may not eat. He went from 10 lbs at the...

I am! He gets a capsule over food every day. I’m also putting liquid B in their water but thinking maybe to support him it’ll be better to start mixing it on top of his peas…. I did that when they were babies and they liked it. Thank you so much for your advice!

Thank you so much! We tried Clavacillin in between, but he didn’t have an appetite at all with that antibiotic so he went back on the original one- Sulfamethoxazole/TMP. The vet did say he’s been on it a long time, basically since October with no breaks so it was time to take him off and try...

Jumbo Pekin owner here- we’ve battled leg issues due to niacin deficiency, then joint infections, for the 10 months we’ve had him. My guy has dropped 3 lbs in 3 months and is battling what we thought was another joint infection, but a joint tap turned up nothing but red synovial fluid and he’s...
