my duck had a recent leg injury and i have no vet near me to see him but i had called my sisters goat vet who is about 2 hrs maybe more away from me.. now my duck has an infection in his leg so he said that if i had any meds for lyme disease and or amoxicillan of my own that i can give to get the infection out i have been giving mine my amoxacillan and its only been 3 days and he went from almost dead to feeling a lot better so if you happen to have that take apart the capsule and divide the powder in half put inside some whole grain bead ( you will need about 4 pieces and you will more than likely have to open his/her mouth and put it in piece by piece so they get it all and do that for 7 days...hope your precious ducky feels better.. oh and i would take the duck inside and keep it warm so he/ she doesnt go down hill... i have mine in a tote in my bathroom with a heat lamp on him
