Attacked Duck with an injured neck! *HELP TIME SENSITIVE*

[Amiga]

So I ended up taking her to the vet after realizing that it definitely wasn't botulism and so **** frustrated that I couldn't find any of the supplies I needed anyways. The final diagnosis was neck muscle trauma with infection. I have her on antibiotics and metacam. Also feeding her through a tube now. She's already perking up and I think she'll pull through

Hallelujah!

I know this post was a few years ago but my duck is going thru the same thing. I’m only finding metacam for dogs, is this what you used?

Hi! I am so sorry your duckie isn't well.

It will help for you to post a new thread in the duck forum. But, I did find this info:

It is the same stuff, but you'll want to check the dosage. Also, if you do postcard mew thread and describe in detail your duck's symptoms, I can assure you that folks with way for expertise than I have will be able to help.
