Limping pekin

[onaharley]

This is her second day on antibiotics

I'd go 14 days to be on the safe side!!

Well I will soak again for the next couple of days and show some new and improved wounds . She will be so happy to be able to get back in the pond as I will be glad to watch her go for a dive down deep in the water...

Yes! Pond plus ducks= happiness

I would do your soaks for duration of the meds, no matter how good it looks and she feels. Great job mama!

Wow! I want to jump up and down for you! That’s some amazing pus you got out of the wound. It’s so hard when they jerk all the time. If there is any swelling after 14 days, I wouldn’t quit antibiotics. But hopefully a lot will change in between then. It has to. You pulled a lot of crap out of that foot. My question is, did it bleed a lot while you were digging?
