Duck with necrotic vent/cloacal tissue PICTURES

[flatnhan]

Unfortunately with everything going on right now I don't think bringing her to the vet is an option. I have had hard in a separate pen and been putting bacitracin on daily. I just checked and took some new pictures.

Does anyone think it would be helpful to move her inside? Like I have some chicken diapers I could use on her so that I could keep it clean and from drying out...

Is she pooping okay? Only problem with diapers is then she’s going to have the poop right on that area. If you bring her inside I’d just keep her on clean old towels they can be shaken out and washed an reused.

Since the bath yesterday cleaned it up so well, could you do another soak once a day, then coat it with Neosporin? I don’t know if you can get Nustock cream online or in your local feed store (in the horse aisle,) but it is a good antifungal cream that is used for pecking and fungal infections. Here is a link for it:

If possible look through my threads and the injury i treated with warm baths and Neosporin. It was terrible ....shes out side with no evidence of being injured at all. Good luck

Warm Epsom salt water soaks can help and Neosporin to keep the skin moist and keep the chance of infection down. How is your little Call doing today @flatnhan

Hey guys I had been doing Epsom salt soaks and left her in the bathtub all night for about a week. I made sure to pull away and dead tissue/poop from her vent and cover it with antibiotic ointment. It cleared up significantly and so I put her back with her girls hoping it would be completely resolved. Last week I checked on her and it looks the same as it did before so I've started the process over. She is still eating/drinking/acting normal.

Do you think I should try oral antibiotics?

Has she been laying? Is a vet an option?

 

[flatnhan]

Yes she has been laying! And I don't think there are any avian vets near me especially with the current pandemic I don't think it's an option. It look better than this when I put her back this afternoon. I will have someone help me to take a new photo tomorrow

After I peeled off the debris it looks like this. Then I covered it with bacitracin but she always tries to groom herself afterwards so I'm not sure how much stays on.
