Duck issue please help

[Miss Lydia]

What about if no vet would just treating with antifungal creams work?

Looks like scaly leg mites and they aren't just isolated to the legs. I'm not sure though?

Never seen scaly leg mites any where else ? But I did wonder about mites when I first saw the pic.

Wouldn’t take the chance some suggestions are until you get to a vet. Some things just require vet care.

Very true but just in case because many of us haven’t a vet that will see poultry. And the creams most likely aren’t going to cause harm to the duck

Let’s remember it takes a lot to ask for help.
@yumachick2015 we’d like to help if we can. Could you tell us more about her?
You see we’re just like you we’ve never seen this before.
Maybe if we put our heads together we could come up with some type of plan.
We’re here to at least try.
Best wishes

Ivermectin is perfectly safe, so is applying an anti fungal cream.

It might be helpful for some of the more experienced people on here (which I certainly am not) if they knew how long this has been going on.

No suggestion of lack of safety here but if have wrong diagnosis won’t help. Can cross cover for all suggestions but then won’t know what worked. Because something has continued awhile and significant I would recommend seeking vet care if able. Most regular vets have someone experienced in avian science that will see and treat. Those out further may have to travel further. I don’t feel our recommendations hurt but do not replace good vet care when needed as we are not veterinarians.

Sometimes a vet is not a option. Be kind
