Growth near toe

[LucyGoosey1]

Hello,

About a week ago I noticed a growth near our brown duck's toe, though she doesn't seem to be limping. The lump feels relatively hard, similar to the toe itself. It doesn't seem to be bumblefoot, though I'm soaking in Epsom salts and applying antibiotic ointment as a precaution. They also get a shot of apple cider vinegar in their water. She once had a similar growth around a cut, but I kept soaking it and eventually it just came off.

Any ideas as to what it could be and how to treat it?

Thanks.

Uh... you sure that's a growth because it looks like a tick to me...?

Blood blister....Possibly pinched its toe?....

It did in fact turn out to be a tick. Thanks! I'm new to this, and I've never seen a tick before.

That's yucky......Depending on the type of Tick?....Watch to make sure your Ducks dont get Tick fever.....
