Please help! Duck with severely injured toe!

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

This is the foot. The black is not discharge it is a salve that I’ve been putting on his foot. He seemed off this morning but he did eat mealworms but now he even refuses that.

I’m currently sitting with him, and did stand up and walk a little, I also tried to offer him some mealworms again and he ate a couple. He is still standing and he looks around a bit.

Honestly your going to need to get him on some strong antibiotics the way he’s acting you may lose him. Why did you amputate?

Have you read through the thread? I’m just wondering. I had to amputate his toe because he cut it and managed to cut off his blood supply to that toe. I waited to see if it would come off on its own but it didn’t so I had to amputate it. It was an extreme measure that I had to take because it was starting to affect him. I will see if I can get him to a vet but I am not sure. Thank you for helping me.

It would be great if I could get him on some antibiotics. I appreciate your help.

I just did and I remember reading it now. I really think an antibiotic is needed now.

Do you know what I could get by any chance?
