I am so deeply sorry @FunnyfarmMidwest she was such a sweetie.

I am so sorry she was such a precious tot. What ever happened was out of your control. Please don’t blame yourself

I will say that I’ve had seen the two other ducklings picking at its feet and I’m worried it might be the cause of this. Should I separate the little one?

 

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

@casportpony do you know what a possible cause of this might be? Thanks

 

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

I would mabye separate them for a couple of day and see if it get any better.
I am no expert by any means so don't take this to seriously

Thanks I think that sounds like a good idea. I might try that.

Place so they can still see each other and put some triple antibiotic or neo on its little red feet. Maybe even another baby in with it?

Thanks for the help. I’m thinking I’ll do this tonight. I don’t want to stress it out more than it has to be. I’ll defiantly put some antibiotic. Do you have any ideas as to what the red might be？

Well I have an update. I left for a while then came home and checked little butters while doing my nightly rounds. She/he was very happy and running around, upon further examination I realized that the red was completely gone and it’s little feet looked completely normal again! So weird right! Everyone is doing well and I observed for a while and saw no signs of pecking or bullying so I left the little with it’s siblings. I’m tellling you this little duckling has me completely baffled!

Here’s its little feet now. I also thought I’d give the update that it has also not breathed through its mouth at all anymore or had any water in it’s nares.

Interestingly enough little butterscotch’s feet look normal this morning as well. It’s running around with the others and is still extremely entergetic. I’m not sure what the red was from but I’ll keep monitoring its feet.
