I have been treating it with oral antibiotics and IM antibiotics, and I'm getting some different ones now. I'm surprised you say cutting isn't a first resort because most people seem to advocate that, for chickens anyway. I am considering a trip to the vet, it will cost me a bundle and I...

and now I have another limping duck She has a more definite infection area though so I'm going to try and cut it out... I still need advice about the bandaging though.

So the duck is still alive but not improving. She has been behaving the same for the last 5 days, which is to say that she only walks when she absolutely has to and uses her wings to limp along. She is not wanting to bear any weight on that foot. She is still quick and hard to catch though...
