In looking, I thought it was one duckling and one bulge, However, BOTH ducklings have boo boos. I think we figured out that the baby turkeys (just two) must have pecked
their feet. All I did was spray blue kote on them and am taking them away from the turkeys. I feel HORRIBLE!!
Any other wound care suggestions????

I panicked for a second when I saw their feet black and purple!!!! Then I remembered the Blue Kote!!! Lol
Update: the one is not limping anymore, the top part kinda shriveled like a raisin so must have drained some.
wjould she be more comfortable if I opened the bottom bulge up with a pin for draining????

I am not sure might be best to watch a little longer don’t want to make a way for bacteria to get in. You could do some Epsom salt wraps on the little foot. Just mix warm water and ES together soak a wash cloth ring out and wrap around the foot just take it off before it get cool so the duckling doesn’t chill. You can do this as often as you want. Just make sure to use nice warm water.
