AFLAC went to the vet no help nothing

Where is Davis ca thank you very much for that info I’m going to call them

Nobody in Vegas knows about ducks it’s a joke

While I may know next to nothing about ducks, I know quite a bit about fish. And that Melafix is fish medicine, not duck medicine. It does contain tea tree oil but is probably not safe for your duck to ingest. It treats fungal and bacterial infections in fish. It is not meant as a duck treatment. It most certainly is not helping.

That's very unfortunate about the issues your fellow is experiencing. Realistically, he may be facing some difficult odds.

The hole in the trachea, if it can't be fixed, and even if it could be...it would be very costly and the outcome may not be favourable. The fact he has a hole is possibly predisposing him to be more prone to infections. This hole may be inhibiting him from getting the amount of oxygen he requires to stay healthy. At the very least that hole is not naturally supposed to be there. Anything that is out of the ordinary can cause issues. And with age problems do tend to get worse.

His leg issues can be a gamut of things. I have a rooster that has an injured leg. It has gotten better, but realistically, he may have to be euthanized before winter.

Regarding antibiotics, those are not always a for-sure thing. One of my favorite roosters was experiencing a swelling in his foot, assumably bumblefoot. After two courses of two different antibiotics and care; they failed to work for him. The vet gave him a stronger antibiotic coupled with an anti-inflammatory. That antibiotic appeared to be starting to work, and his swelling started to respond. However, I found him one morning. He had passed through the night.

AFLAC may be at a junction in his life where you may have to decide if he has a decent quality of life. It is incredibly difficult to lose a pet. But if he is suffering, or if he gets worse...euthanization may be the kindest choice, as hard as that may be to consider. You know him best.

Because it's not a proper antibiotic and who knows what's in it.

I think he might have a bacterial infection, worms, yeast infection, or a protozoal infection.

I asked the. Eat and he said that Aflac doesn’t even k ow or feel that hole there it’s microscopic and he’s only 2 but how the heck would you not know if you couldn’t breath I told him he stretches his neck a lot and opens his mouth trying to get more air and he said he doesn’t even know whatever dude I’m talk to a wall I told him along with a few other things I will not allow him to live this long few believe me I will do what is necessary immediately if I absolutely have toperiod! His life is more important to me then mine and my happiness
