I know there are a ton of threads like this one, I have read a lot of them and tried a lot of advice. Vet is not an option here, if it was I would certainly have tried that first
My duck has a hurt foot. She has been limping for about a week prior. It was getting worse so I caught her and brought her in.It’s swollen and hot to the touch. I looked on bottom and there was a black spot. Immediately thought bumblefoot and tried to treat for that, however once I soaked and pulled the black off, there was nothing underneath. Like it had healed over the infection already. I have had her confined in a crate so she can’t really use the leg. I started her on an antibiotic mixed in her water. I soak the foot twice daily in epsom salt and iodine water. I had the foot wrapped with Neosporn where the scap was but it completely healed now. Is there anything else I could be doing?
thank you in advance.
