HELP DUCK FOOT INJURY

[Chikenshiken]

Your duck's foot is moving towards gangrene. If you cannot see a vet, please get and use the Bayatril ASAP

A vet should be able to do any amputation required for gangrene humanely.

Good luck, all our good energies are with you and your duck

I want to use bayatril correctly and I heard it can cause sour crop if used any longer than 4+ days. Do you have any suggestions for using it?

We use baytril for our runner duck when she gets respiratory infections (as prescribed by vet)…we keep her inside for a week or so, eating normal food and having fresh water. She never got sour crop, even when she was on it for nearly 2 weeks with a bad infection….I’ve actually only seen sour crop in my chickens…but I’m only a duck mom for 3 years…

Here is info on using Baytril for bumble foot with dose [that is why I am giving you this link]
Many of us have used Baytril to treat our poultry including our waterfowl with not any side effects. But I do give a probiotic to help with tummy upset. All antibiotics kill off good and bad bacteria and probiotics help restore good bacteria in the gut.
