Hi there, and thanks for asking! Actually, she never did have soft shelled eggs. She just had a bit of straining and difficulty passing an egg for a couple days. I supplemented with extra calcium and the problem resolved itself. We got one bumble completely healed up, and then we started on her...

You sure had this one right! I gave her two doses of the calcium gluconate yesterday, and went to bed feeling very worried what I would find in the morning. This morning, still no egg, but she wasn’t acting sick or distressed. I let them in the pond for their morning swim, and came out with my...

Thank you. Yes, I knew what you meant about possible egg white getting on it. But hers was the only egg yesterday. And it doesn’t wash off. I will keep an eye out, but I have a feeling she was trying to lay an egg because she made an indent in the dirt and laid there for about 10 minutes twice...

The egg was shiny BEFORE I blew it out. That is how it looked right out of the coop, even after I washed it. The shell is regular thickness. It’s pretty….but strange. i just got home from TSC. I’m gonna give a first dose of the calcium gluconate. Still no egg. She doesn’t seem to be in distress...

I don’t know if you caught my post from yesterday about the egg that she laid yesterday being shiny? Do you think this could have any thing to do with it? I posted a photo of her normal looking egg as well as the shiny one. When I was giving her the Baytril pills, I just tucked it inside a...

Thank you. Does this work better than the calcium citrate? I’m only asking because TSC is a little bit of a drive for me. However, if that stuff works better, I will gladly make the trip. Thank you again.

Is this the right thing? And is the dose the same regardless of weight? https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/durvet-calcium-gluconate-500-ml?cm_vc=-10005

Thank you for the encouragement. I need to stop stressing, but all I can imagine is coming home and having to start all over because she opens it up again. Today is not hot for a change. But she is really panting. That makes me wonder what’s going on. She’s done that off and on since we adopted...

Georgie’s foot is starting to look much improved. What a rollercoaster ride. I will attach a photo from this morning, as well as the “before surgery” photo for comparison. Today, I completed day 6 of liquid Baytril 10% (the proper dosage this time). I’ve read several places to stop after day 5...

You’ve been nothing but helpful to me! Thanks again!😘

Once again, I must have not communicated well. I guess that’s typical when I’m stressed. I’m sorry. What I was trying to say is….if it’s given by mouth, no matter how you get it into the mouth, wouldn’t that be considered “oral” administration (as opposed to somebody giving a vaccine)? I...

Oh, no! I must have come across wrong in that post. I never thought YOU were trying to argue! I just didn’t want YOU to think that I was arguing. I’m a total newbie. I am only trying to learn. I want to be the best duck mom possible. I waited SO long, and I’m like a sponge. So please forgive me...

Wouldn’t this technically still be “orally”? It’s going into her mouth, not being administered with a needle. Not trying to argue, just learning. I just thought it might be easier since she’s all about food, but I’ll do whatever is necessary and best. Thanks again for your support! 😊

Hello again. I received my fresh supply of enrofloxacin 10% liquid today. Before I start her on it, I want to verify I’m dosing properly. She weighs 7 lb. 11 oz. I’m assuming I would round up to 8 lbs? So if the dose is .05ml/lb, would I be giving her .4ml twice a day? And can I squirt the...

Thank you!

So, she is really limping pretty badly today, and limiting her activities, which I haven’t seen her do prior. We must have really bothered something last night when we were cleaning up her foot. I want to get your opinions once again. I hope I don’t tire you out, but this forum is my best chance...

Thank you. I guess the challenge is to find what works for each particular situation. But I am thankful to be directed by knowledgeable folks like you all! My prayer (literally) is that we do right by her, and that eventually she will heal and this will be in the past. She has a small bumble on...

Oh no. I am so sorry. What salve was it? The one this vet prescribed is called Mupirocin 2%. I told the vet I had silver sulfadine. He said that would be his second choice, so I have just been using the Mupirocin. But I also bought a big tube of triple antibiotic ointment, as well as the PRID...

Thank you for the moral support. We really need it! 🙂

Thank you for your insight! I do appreciate everybody here and their willingness to share their thoughts and time. It was “Baytril 20” tablets. They were 22.7mg tabs, and I gave her one a day for 10 days. I did order some liquid Baytril yesterday to have on hand. Strangely, as big and gnarly...
