Maybe @Lacrystol can offer insight? I think she was telling me about that one time. I don't really know much other than that about it.

I tried the bread it won't work he won't touch it

NOOOO BREAD

His face is looking so much better I really hope this works. Does anybody know anything about flushing sinuses to make sure nothing is in there?

Yes you can flush the Sinus. I have had to do it many times. apparently.

I put some apple cider vinegar water in their for him tonight. They have a bucket to wash their head in. I'm gonna start the antibiotics in the morning do you have any idea how long to notice a difference in his face. What's the likely hood of my other ones getting it ? If it's not sinus infection will the antibiotics hurt him? I feel so bad the lady I got them from seemed so sincere I never would have thought she would have sent me home with a sick bird

Then why would you administer antibiotics if you unsure.

 

[Lacrystol]

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.

NOPE, no ointment?

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.

OUCH, OMG, I wouldn't not while his awake. Wholly crap.

 

[Lacrystol]

I really think I'm gonna give it another 24 hours. But my husband on the other hand wants to go ahead and do it.

OMG, the poor thing. I wouldn't.

 

[Lacrystol]

OMG, the poor thing. I wouldn't.

Okay so as much as in pains me to say it Alvin ' s face has started swelling again and I'm at my whites end I am going to try one more series of the tylan shots if that doesn't fix it or if it comes back I don't know what to do he's my buddy and I just can't let him live like that it looks so painful if anyone has anymore suggestions I'm listening

Yep just got worst..

 

[Lacrystol]

I haven't checked his ears didn't even think about that but his nares are completely clean. What other antibiotic might you recommend ?

NONE
