Bumblefoot in Pekin

Maybe you've done too much, maybe it's time to let it heal and just pack it with neosporin and wrap it.

Maybe, but I'm not really sure since I've seen what looks to be the yellowish infection in there and black scabs still form. I'll look into getting a vet out....I've tried so much already idk

I agree with the vet. Bumble is rarely yellow - more off white. I feel like you've dug too far and a vet would be your best option.

So I know its not that I've done too much....because I left it wrapped for two days and it didnt change....it scabs over every time, but the swelling only gets worse if it does anything. Do I get this antibiotic then?

Or do I get this?

I don't know. I'm not familiar with either, tbh. Are any listed as effective for staph?

Vet is the only option imho.

Hey yall so Cletus, who is the other duck in quarantine, Munchkins mate, has been yellowish for a while now. I finally was able to pin him down and get a good look at his oil gland today and its pretty swollen. It also looks yellow and nasty. They havent been able swim since its been freezing and they shiver, but it was warmer today and they were able to swim. I just dont know how to treat it. Help!! I'll post a pic asap
