What kind of ducks do you have?

Pekin. Just 3. One has a swollen leg around the knee? joint. I’m trying to figure out what to do. Might need antibiotics. Just started soaking in Epsom salt. Don’t know where to buy an antibiotic.

Could you post a picture?

There are a few antibiotics that can be obtained online in fish or bird form. A few to name, Cephalxen, Clindamycin, Enrofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, or Amoxicillin. These can be used for some leg infections.

You might want to start a new thread about this in the emergencies and diseases section. Some pictures of the leg might be helpful too. @Miss Lydia or @casportpony may be able to help you but I would definitely start a new thread first.
