they dont have numb feet, at all. they do compartmentalize the pain and manage differently than humansIts a good thing ducks have naturally numb feet . so don,t be afraid of hurting him there while your doctoring..
I am very upset to report that upon looking at my big boy Aflac's feet yesterday, those spots are actually more bumblefoot and infection. I'm pretty stressed and upset about it right now considering we made so much process on my dude, and now both feet had definite sores and Ronnie helped me work on him again. There was the white infection beneath the scab and he worked on him until it looked to be only pink healthy tissue but he bled quite a bit again, that duck is a big bleeder at the smallest things. Makes me very sad to have to do this again and to see him back in bandages when I thought we were over and past thisbut Ronnie is helping me so much at trying to get this taken care of. My khaki campbell Wiggles also had a huge spot of bumble about two weeks ago on one foot and ronnie got it all out for her, shes just finishing healing now. But Aflac has ways to go again

it looks like he has a couple little spots about 1/2 way up his outside toes too
unfortunately Pekins tend to be way more prone to bumble because of their weight

Welcom over Ronnie!!
