Bumblefoot?

[Miss Lydia]

Unless you have a vet that will sell you an antibiotic you will need to go to pet store for fish antibiotics I think only thing you can buy from feed store now is injectable pen. I am not sure what fish antibiotic would be appropriate, hopefully @casportpony can help with that.

How many of these ducks are limping?

@PearlTheDuck - for early bumbles, I rub a dab of triple antibiotic ointment on the bumble twice a day. No soaking, no wrapping. Always one treatment at their bedtime when they won't be walking or swimming so much. In fact when mine were younger I would have a few cases going on at once. I would keep a tube of ointment in my jacket pocket, put a dab on my finger, and scoop up the ducks needing treatment, swipe the ointment on the foot, give it a quick rub, and set the duck down.

Which works better, doing the ointment or soaking and applying iodine? I want to do Whichever works the best

 

[Miss Lydia]

I've only done the soaking and iodine I know that works.

I forgot to post this yesterday, any idea what that is on the lump? Looks like its coming to a head or getting a scab?

 

[casportpony]

What does the bottom side look like?

I haven't gotten to treating this hen yet, the scab isn't ready either

That looks like a bumble that needs to be cut out.
