Alternative to Neosporin for ducks

[KMC1234]

Hi,

Is there another ointment i could use for my ducks as i am not able to get any Neosporin in the UK? I have a duck with bumblefoot and I need something to treat it with.

Thanks

I use bag balm for almost everything-cuts,scrapes,rashes!Works just as good on humans!! I have a big can in my medicine cabinet!

Can you give yourself a scratch and get a prescription from the GP?

Just buy it at the feed and grain store!

That appears to be nothing more than a moisturizer.

Hibitane or Eczmol cream which contain chlorhexidene would be fine to use. Or if you have any chlorhexidene, you may apply it with a coat of petroleum jelly or coconut oil.

Thanks for the suggestions. I can get Eczmol cream here so will give that a try. Bag Balm does look useful so may just keep some of that anyway but wanted something stronger for the bumblefoot.
