HELP!!! Pekin duck leg injured!!

[Miss Lydia]

If it’s an injury an antibiotic isn’t going to help.

If your thinking an infection then Baytril might be the way to go. @onaharley might be able to advise there. When my Runner had bumble infection she was prescribed Amoxicillin.

Okay, I'll look into that. Right now hes resting, I just went and bothered him.

Okay, so I plan on giving some asprin, I can dissolve it in water, right? Itll be easier. I'm going to look online for some antibiotics and hopefully get those soon..is there a certain kind I should get? Any pics?
What do you think? Sprain? Broken? Infection? I want to get him better so he can hang out with his buddies!

1 325 mg to a gallon of water or 1/4 of a 325 mg aspirin to a qt of water mix well. As for what antibiotic to give him. I just don’t know what to tell you. Without knowing what’s going on with his leg whether a sprain,or infection. Can he use his legs in water okay. Have you let him him have warm water baths.

Yes, he seems more lively in the water!

 

[Miss Lydia]

The warm water takes the pressure off his legs and is so good as therapy give him a warm bath where he can move his legs and keep his muscle working. Are you also giving him liquid b complex? That is good support for legs too.

I’d order Amoxicillin 250 Mgs countryside pets has it. It’s always a good idea to have antibiotics on hand.
