Duck trouble

[Miss Lydia]

So I just put him in Epsom salt again or do I just put the colorless iodine

I'd soak with the ES first making sure he doesn't drink any, then dry his feet and apply the colorless iodine top and bottom, I used a q tip because I could get it spread better than that dabber thing that comes in the bottle. Read the post Amiga gave you it will tell you how often to apply it I believe it is every three days, let us know how it looks.

Okay if he does not get better this month I'm going to have to put him down

I understand completely. What have you been doing for him in the last couple days?

 

[drew ducks]

For the last couple of days he has been getting water therapy feed him 3x a day then I give him niacin 500 in water and that's it I'm gonna go get the colorless iodine tomorrow when I go to Walmart but can any vet put him down or no

I think most any vet would do this for you, best to call ahead and make sure though. It may take a bit longer to see if the iodine is going to work on his bumbles though since you haven't even started the treatment yet.

Okay sounds good then what I'll do is keep his this whole month and at begging of December ill see how he does and if not I'm gonna put him down

Lets hope once you start the iodine you'll see improvement pretty quick. Were you able to get the colorless iodine?

 

[drew ducks]

Well I went to walmart and I got the iodine so now what do I do with it

Okay but when I put it on his foot do I rub all of the foot or just where the bumblefoot was
