Lumps under duckling eyes

Will do!

Thanks for your support.

I have not managed to handle the duckling. I have fed her twice a day without fail. She is still well. I have looked into why she has them. She is scratching herself and causing an infection. It comes and goes, but doesn’t seem to be bothered by it. I will keep an eye on her as I have quite a little bond for her. If I feel as though it is becoming worse, I will ask the local bird sanctuary to pick her up and feed her the necessary antibiotics etc. We will organise to bring her back she is better. Fingers crossed it will not come to this. Thank you all for your input.

Only problem with letting it go is infection getting into the blood stream. That can be fatal. I hope it doesn’t come to that but something that needs to be considered with not getting her treated.

I ask because another member's duckling had the same problem, and the vet suggested using Bactrim.

I agree, I shall ask the sanctuary to pick her up when they are here this week. (Another story - a Canada Goose with a dislocated leg)
Thank you.

Oh my goodness... this link is amazing! I really needed this when my chickens had Bumblefoot in lockdown. I couldn’t access any VET for medical assistance!
I hope they deliver to the UK! I shall also purchase these for future use as it is very useful indeed.

Many thanks Isaac

Yep. That was me and I was about to suggest bacterial infection. My ducklings swelling was on top of his head and around to his eye. He also acted like it didn't bother him but I took him to the vet and she gave him bactrim and it cleared up.

I was thinking you were to the one who said that. What dose did the vet have you give it to her at?
