Puffy lump under ducks beak. Help

[kjackson1992]

So what do I go about doing?

How old is this duckling?
Maybe some folks can add other comparison pics of the same or close age.

@Alaskan Have your Muscovy's ever abscessed like this?

 

[kjackson1992]

They're about 5 months old now, none of our others have had anything like this

 

[Ol Grey Mare]

Why and why?

Because that is not part of normal duck anatomy

Is her water deep enough to submerge her whole head?

Sorry, I should have asked. I didn’t realize you had enough to compare. But it’s moot anyway, you know it isn’t normal.
I’m sorry, I have no idea what to do though. I do wish you luck and support!

If it’s a abscess would it be hard or soft? I haven’t had to deal with an abscess before? Anyone know? If a vet is an option maybe that? So this is a drake that has been bullied maybe beat up possibly an injury?

I know in chickens an abscess is hard and I assume it is the same in ducks.

@casportpony please give us your take could it be an abscess?
