Hi!
Two days ago I saw my duck Pip trip over the garden hose. She started limping immediately after. I gave her vitamin b complex and put poultry green goo on her ankle. I also used my red light therapy device on her. I think it looks slightly swollen but nothing crazy. She gets around fine while limping, but I’m worried as I will be leaving on on Friday Aug 12- Tuesday Aug 23 and my brother and dad, who do not have experience with duck medical care, will be taking care of her. Any advice of what else I should do? Should I wrap it or do an epsome salt bath? I have some carprofen, but in the past my vet said she would need to do bloodwork before giving it to her due to her age, 12 years.
Thank you!!
