:woot good to hear about Angus!! Ya'll take such good pics together too. ;)
Now I'd say Lucy needs some more soaks and pics too. Let us know what the vet says.
Could be the start of bumble that area that has blk like scabs and is swollen some. I'd start out soaking and using the clear iodine if he is really limping and having a hard time keeping up with the flock then might be good to let him have a few days rest and see how the foot looks after a few...
Either would be okay I think the Epsom salts would help bring down any swelling where the iodine would help with any infection. So maybe alternate. Also clear iodine is good for after soaks. did you check for a thorn or splinter?
Oh those boys they pick some of the strangest place to have...
I guess it would but seems it would be at a much lower dose. That would be your decision. If I have to give meds and thankfully it's not been often mainly wormer I do feed my dogs their eggs for 2 weeks after.
Best to get advise from source of meds. that is for sure.
Yes give the meds on a time schedule that is best for you your doing great. Glad to hear she is doing better too.
I think it's 14 days after last dose before you can eat eggs again and you can try feeding them back to the ducks my chickens love cooked eggs but my ducks stick their noses up at...
What a sweet pic. All goes into the relationship you all have with your birds. they know you will protect them so they are comfortable with you. She sure is precious. :love
Try it that way or if she'll take bread I use it small amount smooched around a pill broken into how ever many pieces it takes to get it down. Mine never know they are getting a pill using the bread method. But she may take it the other way too if you can feed her ducky soup with out the others...
On the middle toe that lil scab. That can develop into bumble foot right under right conditions if it was a cut, scrap, now it looks okay but soaking in ES and warm water then applying some clear iodine to that area can help to get the scab off and then you can see if anything is in there I...
Or make her a temp small area if that is easier. I'd wait on the antibiotics they are always the last resort. Once you see redness, significant swelling heat [like hot] then it maybe bumble foot. But I would almost say it's a sprain of some kind. She could have even stumbled outside on the...
Could one of your drakes be exceptionally loving to her? meaning is she getting too much attention for them. Drakes can injure the females and cause a leg injury like a sprain. It doesn't particularly look like bumble is starting. Rest inside the run with the others where the drakes can't mess...
