Hey all! Two days ago, after much prep and planning, I went and picked up two female Muscovy ducks from a rescue here in Texas. This is our first duck experience and now I'm freaking out inside because I think one of them came with bumblefoot! I managed to get a hold of here which was terrifying to us both (I hated to damage our relationship so soon, I was planning on very slowly warming up with them and now they're even more terrified of me )
I soaked it in Epsom salt for about 5 mins before she freaked out and spilled it, and then I managed to get a couple more minutes in a saline soak. I couldn't get any scab off. I sprayed it with hydrogen peroxide and also managed to get mupirocin cream on gauze and a wrap around it.
Does this look like bumblefoot? Any advice???
