My duck is only 2 month old but I seem to be having so many problems. She had wye neck which was just horrible after alot if care ! I got her through that. Only to now have a massive massive leg and foot .it's a bit squishy as well .I'm putting her in water twice a day. I'm giving her vitamins ibuprofen and some antibiotics which I had left over from my other poorly duck.can any one help as to what it could be .I can't go to the vets I've not long had my other duck there and it cost me 679 pounds only for her to suffer and die .I'm a single mum I can't afford more vet bills so any advice I will follow .thank you so much for reading....this duck.has gone through so much I just want her to enjoy life and be back to her bossy self

Her diet is vitiams every day. Peas a few times a week.there on thick grass every day. And I buy geece and duck pellets .I dont buy the cheapest ones I asked at the store for the best food for them .weather it matters if it's more expensive or not i dont no .I'm probably just paying for the brand .
 
Bumble is staff infection it can occur any place on the body. One of my chicken hens had a bumble came up very fast was on the side of her foot it busted open, I brought her inside where she stayed for over 2 weeks until it was healed since I had opened on its own I cleaned the foot by soaking in Epsom salt water dried it and put triple antibiotic on wrapped and waited for a few days before I looked at it again. Thankfully it didn't need anything else done just kept her in to keep it clean while it healed.
My Runner on the other hand had to have me use a scalpel on her bumble to get it out once It was popped out I cleaned it real good put triple antibiotic on wrapped and it healed. So some my hens I have to work on a couple times before I get all the infection out.
Please put up pictures so we can help.

I am very sorry it seems like it's one thing after another. Getting her through Wry Neck is awesome so let's see if we can get her through this also before giving up.
