Hi there! I rescued an Indian Runner yesterday from a horrid farm.
She has abrasions and blood all over her. Missing loads of feathers. Scabs. A hole thru her webbing, nails missing. And the dirtiest animal I’ve ever seen.. so much mud and poo stuck on her.
I’m working to get her healed up. But would appreciate some advice … her feet. Very minor bumble foot (which is amazing!). I can treat that no problem. My question is: her feet are sooooo dry. I’ve never seen duck feet this dry. Like crusty feeling dry. I don’t think she had much access to water so I pop her into my tub twice a day right now….. anything else I can put on her feet or in her food to help hydrate her? Or will the bathing/swimming heal that up in time?
Thank u for any advice I’ll post 2 photos
