MUSCOVY WITH FROST BITE

[Palomabunny]

Just got in a female Muscovy who was dumped in an urban park, no pond there…?! Probably from a live market as a duckling then people decide to dump... She has frost bite—black edges and grey/black black on her feet. Have a vet appt. today to get some injectable pain med, antibiotics & maybe hydration as she is hardly eating or drinking. I have liquid Carprofen to put on her food. Can put topical triple antibiotic (w no pain med in it) on her, aloe vera. She is a good weight, in a large carrier in my kitchen, on soft towels. Very scared, can stand at present and walk some but sits mostly.I know it is a long recovery and she may lose her feet but I’d like to at try instead of putting her down at the get-go. Gd sends me animals to try to help so it is my karma. Any experienced duck persons who have additional advice? Tikkun Olam (Heal the World) Thank you.

I have never had to deal with frostbite to that extent a few of my Muscovy have had it on their faces and have recovered without any intervention but this sounds serious. I am so thankful you have her and want to help. Hopefully the vet can help too. I'm not sure what is the best for treating right now as far as topical.
Maybe there is something in this that can give you some help. Please let us know what the vet says and how he/she treats.
