Hi all,
I have a call duck with what looks like a broken toe and a puncture wound. I have her inside in a clean bed and am spraying the wound with vetrimycin and using triple antibiotic ointment. I want to give her an antibiotic orally as well. Was going to try amoxicilin in her water but it tastes horrible and I don't think she will drink enough of it. What antibiotic would be best for a puncture on a foot and what dosage? Can I give any of them in drinking water rather than having to give them to her with a tube? She is TINY and getting a tube into her to give her meds is a nightmare. She fights, gets very stressed, and is a horrible patient. On hand I have Tylan 50, amoxicillin powder, and injectable Baytril.
As always than you for your advice!! I want to make sure I give this girl what she needs.
