Feather Follicle

[KansasChickensDucks]

Hi All! Well we have another issue with one of our birds, our Pekin Duck. We believe that she has a feather follicle. Seems pretty large. She is not a happy camper. Has anyone experienced this?
My questions are; did your bird continue to eat and act normally or did it seem like they were in pain, not eating, laying around. She is still drinking.
Our duck also has bumblefoot which we are treating with baths, Neosporin, Bandage etc and she is also on a antibiotic per the Vet.

she doesn’t want to walk nor does she have an appetite. Just wondering if a feather follicle could cause this many problems?

How is your duck doing?

Hi! She is 90% better! She’s eating, hanging with her friends day and night, playing in the pool. The lump is still there but softer now. We had to do one more round of antibiotics so the lump is not not gone but she seems ok other than this. Need to talk to the vet and ask what she wants to do once the antibiotics end. I meant to update then got sidetracked!

Do you own any drakes?
