Infection in his leg please help

[Rimav]

In the meantime start your duck on 1 ml of Liquid B complex daily and lets see if that helps. Then speak to the vet about slipped tendon. The vet should be able to do an examination and tell if this is what it is. You can get Liquid B complex at TSC also get a 1ml syringe so you can draw out the right amount put this over a tasty treat just enough treat that he gobbles it right down. This is worth trying if euthanasia is not something you want to think about right now. Here is info on the Liquid b complex what it looks like when you go to get it. It will say injectable but we give it orally. Keep an opened bottle in the frig.

This may not work depending on how long this has been going on, but I always feel I have to try all I can before giving up.

Thank you so much for the suggestions and the directions. I'm willing to try anything

When you ask your vet about slipped tendon phrase it like someone mentioned that it looks like it may be a slipped tendon that way the vet won't get upset thinking someone has looked at his diagnosis as being wrong.

My duck was diagnosed with an infection in his leg and given antibiotics with a poor prognosis. I'm scared It's not getting better with antibiotics and I'm desperate to help him. Any suggestions? View attachment 2758907

An update.. he went for his follow up and the antibiotics didn't seem to work . They vet squeezed his leg and puss was coming out and he was getting bumblefoot along with bubblefoot on his other leg. Unfortunately the vet said his quality of life was so poor especially with the pain that he was in that I had to euthanize him today
