Baby duck with leg infection -- please help!!

[Miss Lydia]

you have to be very careful what meds you give to water fowl, they are very sensitive to meds. before dosing anyone I'd research here or on Google or ask my vet for advise most will. Glad to hear they are better.

Just for future reference, this is the dosing that was suggested to me on another board:

Baytril: 15mg/kg twice a day.

Thanks for all the help and support.

Just letting you all know that my ducks pulled through ok

I was most concerned about my Pekin since she grew the largest and fastest and had the worst effect on her leg, but even she finally looks good again. They all have a slight indent at the site of the band and the Pekin's is even discolored stil there, but otherwise their legs look and work perfectly now. I decided not to use the antibiotics since I was advised not to here, so all I did was use epsom salt baths, betadine, and triple antibiotic ointment.
