!HELP¡ Duck with inflammation in knee

[CayugaJana]

She likely won’t get better unless she is on antibiotics. What stores do you have near you? Any feed stores? Do you shop online?

The proper antibiotics should only be prescribed by a Vet too..

Is the vet an option?? I think that you should see a vet....we are no experts....well some of us are, but not me.....

No experts just some of us with more experience. A Vet for this is a way better option.

I’m pretty sure the OP said a vet wasn’t an option.

Ok...I have forgotten what was said....I have been on multiple threads and my mind can't remember all what was said...

If we own animals a Vet should always be an option.

Does She have a pool? Also, soak her feet in an Epson salt bath. Try to pray of the scab and squeeze the stuff out. Ice it to keep the swelling down. Put some Neosporin or some natural antiseptic cream on the wound and wrap it so it doesn't get infected.

The OP is in California where *all* antibiotics now require a prescription.

@Jose.js7112, do you know anyone that raises gamebirds or pigeons? I ask because many gamecockers and pigeon fanciers keep antibiotics on hand.

That is probably where I would start. Soak, pick off the scab and try to squeeze fluid and/or pus out.
