What concentration was the penicillin you use for ducks? I am helping a friend with a wounded duck and gave it an IM injection of 300k Penicillin G of 0.1cc and I plan to do this daily for 5 days. Do you think this will work? We don't know what attacked the duck. It has a deep jagged cut on its head down to the bill between the eyes, gouges in the bill from teeth or claws, dried blood on one wing and behind the other wing. I started the pen. because the duck had an infection type odor the evening after injury. I know how to treat chickens, but have no experience treating ducks. Any information on treating ducks with IM penicillin would be helpful. Thank you.
