I thought with her on the antibiotic that the puss pockets are not supposed to grow?

From what I’ve heard the antibiotics can’t take care of pus already there. Maybe that’s wrong though. @casportpony do you know? Do you think this might be it? Sure hope so!

I don't know but I'm not going back in her foot till the end of the week. She has some swelling so I can't tell. It can't be too much more. It looks better thought

This is true.

It’s really hard for the ducks immune system to penetrate the hard pus areas. So it’s easier for bacteria to grow unaffected safe inside there.

I think the immune system and antibiotics can heal it, but it just takes A LOT of time.

I don't understand, so when bacteria starts growing that's what forms the puss pockets that im removing but the ABX will stop anymore from growing, right?????

 

[Sandiemouse]

No new puss pockets should be grown, right???
It just seems that I've gotten a lot of stuff out of her foot..... just wondering if the antibiotic is working that's all.... the swelling has got better, now to let the incisions heal, I should be able to know more then wouldn't you say so???

Has anyone noticed that a duck had a heart on there back...

and they have blue eyes, that's why we love them so much...

How sweet! I think if your noticing improvement I’d say the antibiotics and your cleaning it out is sure helping to get it healed up.
