Duck trouble

Well does amoxicillin work also because I got some of that at home

It shows one of the antibiotics is Amoxicillin and to give 250 megs a day treat for 5-7 days. pick up a probiotic at the feed store so when he is finished with treatment you can help him get his gut bacteria back to normal.

Please don't use the duramycin 10 till we know without a doubt ducks can have it, start giving the Amoxicillin since it is dif safe to use and in the strength I gave you. I have been trying to find info on the dur 10 and haven't yet. I thought you were going to use the Amoxicillin since you mentioned it.

From the Hunched Up Duck thread, I found this

Duramycin-10 at 1/2 tbls. per gallon for 7-10 days.

Pretty much what any of us can do for anyone on the forum is share what has worked for ourselves or others. If a vet is not an option, then each of us needs to go with what we think is the best approach.

I would not have the other duck drinking the antibiotics. I would immediately start treating for bumblefoot, by soaking in Epsom salt, following with iodine dabbed on the bumbles. If the legs get warm, or joints get swollen, that indicates more of a need for something oral.

If you know a vet, I would get both ducks in.
