Okay good, I believe the VetRX can also be put in the water I'd dif rub some around her nares. maybe it's just the dry air. I doubt it could be anything serious with the way she is progressing. I have some V-RX been awhile since I had to use any of it.
I bet that does itch and glad it's only dead skin. Are you putting ACV into their drinking water? might try that for the stuffiness. also there is a product called Vet RX that you could put around her nares. Next time sh has a bath and your holding her listen to her air sacs which would be where...
Glad I was able to help ... enabling is what us BYCers like to do One of my drakes came from the river down below us most likely with yours someone had 1 to many drakes it happens so often it's sad. Nice to know there are people like you who have a heart to keep them and care for them.
Have you ever seen your drake trying to mate with your hens? some drakes can be relentless when it comes to mating and can kill chickens if they mate with them. Just wanted you to be aware of this. I have 3 drakes that are of breeding age and 1 old drake who has the desire most likely but can't...
They are so pretty. I hope she likes the meal worms I would be surprised if she didn't. Another thing she might like is thawed lil English peas. Mine love them too but meal worms is diff the favorite, of course they are also the most expensive. lol
Glad to hear she is doing so good and...
I thought VetRX was mainly for respiratory? I have some just haven't used it. The blue kote dries pretty fast but if he isn't messing with her I'd wait and use it when you have to doctor someone outside just isn't worth worrying about getting that stuff on walls etc. I have had to wear it on my...
I'm glad to hear she has a mate since you have never mentioned one i didn't even ask, maybe he'll perk her up but I'd watch him if her neck injury is noticeable when my duck had her blood feather pulled out her drake started messing with it right off. So I sprayed it with Blue Kote and he never...
Nope I didn't mention the Poultry Nutri drench very sorry it is good stuff so if you can get some it will help support her till she is back to her old self.
This would be worth a try, I think I mentioned PND back at the beginning, if you decide to try it don't mix it with the ACV give one one day the other the next when you give fresh water. Does she feel skinny like in her breast bone is it sticking out?
I hope she eats. I'm glad to hear all wounds are small. you still need to keep and eye on the cuts though for festering which could mean infection but sounds good so far. how about nares did she still sound wheezy after her bath?
You could I was just trying to think if the cut could be through to the sinus but that sounds like it would be too far away sinus would probably be more like under the eye. All cuts look superficial ?
I'm sorry I don't know what color their skin should be, I have Muscovy. But I'd think the skin should be tight not loose I looked in my Raising Ducks book under Ancona and thee description only talks about color of feather and bill size. Seeing anything come out of her bill into the water? and...
Apple cider vinegar is a very good tonic 1-2 Tab to 1 gal of water. It can help with her nares to so put it into a deep bowl so she can clean them out good with it, it can kill off some bacteria. Sometimes making their feed mixed with some warm water entices them to eat, try a small amount first...
That's a relief glad to hear her wounds don't look bad. And she is enjoying her bath. Keep up the good work with her. and keep updating on how she is doing.
