injured duck update*

[winterducks]

I made a post here yesterday and many of you were extremely helpful!

I am not able to get into the vet until Monday morning.

The update is the injured foot feels warm not hot but warmer then the good foot lol! Which leads me to believe its an infection, what it is I am not sure I'll update a photo of his foot when I can. In the meantime is there any antibiotics I can purchase from the feed store that could wipe out any infection for the time being? Also, I read (which may be wrong) that amoxicillin can be helpful in a situation like this as well as vitamins. Any advice will be helpful. I also did a salt soak for the sake of it hopefully helping. Thank you in advance.

Keep up the soaks until you can get meds or get to the vet. I'll see if @casportpony can help with any idea. But a pic will def help.

I don’t see anything particularly concerning. I’m going to go look for your other thread.
