MitesWhat do I do about the nights I’m itching everywhere but more importantly Aflac someone said put lemon juice on his body
Do you have records from the vet? How is the injury described in clinical notation if so? I have found a few case studies on tracheal injuries and there appear to be treatment options. Of course, knowing nothing about your duckie makes it impossible to guess but it may be helpful to keep in mind that similar conditions have been treated and maybe if you find the right vet they can help you! He will probably need surgery and that can get expensive, but sometimes no cost is too high for our precious little ones. Keep us posted okay?
Thank you so much now he has mites geeeez poor guy what do I do now and I think I had them to cause I’m itching crazylyI'm very sorry to hear about Aflac.
I don't have anything to suggest or offer but a hug![]()
No not at allDo you know how he got a hole in his trachea?
No but now I found mites on him poor guy the vet said the X-ray showed it was an air sak he wished it was good in his crop at least he could do something about it but apparently he has a hole in his trachea
yesI'm so sorry, I do not know.
Was the vet you saw an avian vet?
@casportpony or @Eggcessive may know more about this than I do.
Seriously thank you so muchPoor lad.There are surgeries that can fix holes in the trachea if you can find a vet who will be willing to try. Please contact an avian vet if you are still wanting to try and save him. As for mites, poultry dust will help! Here is a link to a bigtime serious trachea surgery on a mallard that saved him:

Cases like this one give me hope for Aflac! <3
