Lame duck

[MammaAtTheAvenue]

oh Jerry is a she, my bad! I said he before.
My family members are always calling my Dougie a "he".
Poor Jerry. Is she doing alright?

Apologies for the delay in response.

No worries. We named them before we knew their sex.
Thank you for asking after her. She had a bath today and this is how it looks xxx

Same thing with my girls! I named Dougie while she was hatching.

poor girl, is it improving at all?

This was when the scab first came off. I can't find the one of the black scab when I first found it xxx

Can anyone give me their opinion on how Jerry's foot is healing please? The antibiotic cream should only be used for a week so that time is up. That side of her foot is still bigger than the other. I'm having to change the dressing because her shoes haven't arrived xxx

It actually looks pretty good. Why can you not use the cream any longer? has this duck also been on antibiotics? Did you open it up or the vet? and did you get anything out of it?if it's still swollen I'd keep up with soaking in Epsom salt water and using the cream.

Thank you. The tube says only use for a week. This is an antibiotic cream but she hasn't had oral antibiotics. I removed the scab after soaking. I couldn't get anything out.

I'll keep soaking it but maybe use a medicated cream instead of antibiotic? Xxx

Try it and see if it helps. Keep up with soaking too.
