Duck's Bill "Growth"

[Cayuga momma]

Cayuga, I did indeed. I went so far as to use a vibrating toothbrush and soapy water to gently try to remove the growth - thinking at first it was simply something stuck to her. Unfortunately... No joy. I believe it's a growth.

Is a vet an option?

Is a vet an option?

Yes, shy of someone here knowing what that is on her beak and how best to address it, I believe that's my very next option. I have a good local vet.

I know I’ve been here since 2009 and I’ve never seen that. Since she is doing all things normal hopefully it’s something the vet can take care of pretty easy. Please keep us updated.

Any news @Hotspurious

Thanks for the update and I hope she gets better soon.

Thank you for keeping us updated!!! So glad she is getting help and it looks better!

I have 3 buff ducks and have never seen this in mine before. It almost looks like some kind of gunk got on it. Don't try to scrape it off...it might cause greater damage or open up a way for infection, but is there anyway for you to maybe take a paper towel and try and "wipe" it off?

@casportpony ever seen anything like this? I sure haven’t.

Atleast a vet might be able to take a sample of it to try to find out what it is.
Please keep us updated! I'm hoping the best for your ducky!

Is it possible she has water and debris under that thin layer on her Bill? Like a water blister?..You can try to puncture it to see if something comes out. She could of gotten caught on some wire.
