ducks- non healing bumble foot.

[duck dynasty]

HI, I have been treating my Pekin with Tricide Neo soaks 5 mins daily and then painting with clear iodine for about 2+ weeks. I have seen minimal improvement.
Any treatment ideas? Where can I get silvadene cream without a prescription?
Thanks

Hi - Have you posted over on the Duck Forum? I am wondering if you have seen this - post 22

It talks about soaking (but not with Tricide Neo), and then putting a little clear iodine on the bumble and waiting several days, soaking again to loosen the scab.

Epsom salt soaks can sometimes draw out an infection - I recently read an article from someone who used just Epsom salt soaks on her chicken's bumblefoot, successfully.

Another thought - when Mildred had non-healing bumblefoot, it turned out she still had something in the foot.
