Hiya
I have a lame drake.
He’s been down for two weeks.
Eating, drinking, preening and chatting but slides about on belly.
His whole leg was hot and swollen, so Vet gave me antibiotics. The swelling and heat is away from foot to below joint BUT joint is still very swollen and hot. We’re on Day 2 of second course of antibiotics.
He has always been a scabby looking duck with weird wing feathers but has always been a character.
They freerange, get brewers yeast and Niacin in water and plenty of peas too.
Any ideas?
