So, apparently my mother saw my three indian runners fighting over a toad yesterday ... the culmination of said fight being that one of my ducks swallowed the toad. Is that just a weird story or should I be worried? I don't think toads are on the approved list of delicacies for ducks ...
On a (probably) unrelated note, that same duck began limping yesterday. We brought her inside and let her relax in the bath by herself. I checked the bottom of her foot and noticed a small bump with a crack across it. I have read a little about bumblefoot. I'm thinking this is probably the beginning of that ... is there anything I can do to prevent infection? Its probably just at the cut stage now ... though the bump sounds like descriptions of bumblefoot. I know this topic has been talked to death, but how does one tell the difference between a cut and "bumblefoot".
Thanks
