Baytril can be used for most bacterial infections that birds get, so it's a good one to have. It can also be used in cats and dogs.

Awesome to know, thanks for sharing that bit of info. I'm definitely going to be adding that to my list of stuff to get for a first aid kit. Any other things you can suggest that'll be good for ducks as well as cats & dogs?

Aww poor baby, at least he's not suffering. Hope the other ones grow to be strong & healthy. I'm in the same boat as you in not being able to afford medications at the moment. Poor Quackers has what seems to be bumblefoot & the only thing that I have is neosporin but not sure if it's safe for him.

if it is infact bumble foot, I think u have to do surgery on it :(.. in order to fix it. I hope so eone can help you and so do I...
 
Bumblefoot usually occurs when they cut their foot or get something in it... like a sliver etc. Basically it's like warts on human feet a cut lets the bacteria in. I have no experience with it on ducks but my free range hens now and then do as there always up the darn cedar trees lol

I removed the scab and then apply wonderdust... ensuring to clean it out, often they have a core. Wonderdust is a horse wound product and i have no clue if it's even available outside my country but that is my method. i would bet a quick search would give info on dealing with ducks... though i see it being little different.

sorry the pebble, ducks do eat gravel.. they need grit just like chickens do, that said they also explore with their mouth due to the lack of hands lol now how big was it? i am sure you'd know if it was too large as they'd act like they were choking, as well this was a Muscovy? how old? they eat big stuff.. frogs, mice..

He was born July 8 with so 2months as of yesterday, I'm worried it might not pass or if it got coughs in his intestines. And it was pretty large he had a hard time getting it down but he's it a big mouth so it didn't take him long when I was trying to get it out of his mouth he like wouldn't let it go so yeah...... And yes he's a muscovy I only raise muscovies but I have other ducks but I don't raise their babies
