Yes, well water. Should i not mix the vitamins

Well water and vitamins are fine, but depending on where you live, your well water might have a lot of calcium. If you have a RO fillter (Reverse Osmosis) you're probably okay.

A scale make it easy! Just set it to grams with an small empty container, zero it with the container on it and add two tablespoons to the container. Make sense?

That powder is 5.5%, which means that each gram has 55 grams of oxytetracycline. One I know how much two tablespoons weigh I can calculate how many teaspoons per gallon you would use.

Wash with warm water and salt mixed real well. then put neo or tripe antibiotic with out pain in it. Make sure to keep him away from flies or you'll have maggots not something you want to happen. Watch closely and if the pus doesn't go away then you may want to start him on a round of antibiotics. Some people just are so irritating why would this person not care for your duck. Put some ACV into their drinking water also 1 Tab to 1 gal. it will help rehydrate them.

I think it looks great. It doesn't sound infected and I'm sure just like a scab there will fresh skin healing under. I bet it's starting to get itchy.

The top layer will probably peel off, good to see it opened on its own. Do you have any Veterycin, best stuff in the world for something like this because you don't have to touch the wound just spray it on, it's for wounds and infections, TSC has it.

its nasty looking but the top layer is dead skin, its healing but he keeps picking at it now. not sure how to stop him, i can't cover it.

the top is yellow but healing, if i could just get him to leave it alone. he will not allow me to spray it not sure if the spray stings or something but he will allow the creams to be put on..... i have an odd duck
