puffy cheeks

That's a good sign. Ducks can be tough, but sometimes by the time we see they are sick, we need to move quickly and it seems you are.

I am wracking my brain trying to think if there is anything else you could try that would be helpful before you can get the antibiotics.

Just tossing it out there - a little triple antibiotic ointment without painkiller around the base of his bill, where the feathers meet the bill. Might that deliver a little antibiotic to the site of the infection? An idea for your consideration.

Prayers for you all.

I might have to give that a try, thank you for your time, answers, and prayers I will be sure to let you know how things are going.

Good. Wish I could make him all better right now. Tell him we are pulling for him! And you!

G'night.

Alright so I have a little bit of good news I went to give my boy another dose of antibiotics and I can already notice the swelling has started to go down on one side of his face. I really hope this works.

 

[Amiga]

Pulling and praying for you both.

 

[Amiga]

How are things?

One of his cheeks is almost completely normal the other side has only went down a little. My 4 legged vet said maybe take a needle and see if we could draw some of the injection out but I don't know about that.

 

[Amiga]

Yeah, needles around the face, while I would not say never, I would hesitate.
