Quote: Other drugs okay for cats and dogs:

• Safeguard goat, cattle or horse wormer.
• Mediworm - Has praziquantel and pyrantel, just like Drontal. Dose for chickens is 4 pills per 2.2 pounds, but not sure about the dose for cats and dogs.

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..

It's available in the US.

You haven't had a lot of luck this year have you? But I'm so happy that the ones who made it made it

I found a duckling in the middle of the lawn yesterday... Picked it up and saw that it had a bloated belly, so I suspect it had a yolk sac infection or a heart defect. Will try to do a necropsy on it later today.

Males will show a lot of deformities in adult hood if to inbred, like retardation, but they will also be blind, growths in wierd places etc.

Most females are actually fine but some become infertile
