My Fawn and White Indian Runner duck has a very, very swollen toe. I think it may be broken, but cannot feel a break. It also felt like it had fluid in it, and (perhaps foolishly) I poked it with a tiny needle to see if I could relieve pressure, but only got a small amount of blood. So today I plan to stop at the feed store and get her some antibiotics but have no experience with this and am concerned.
Anyone out there have a suggestion for what antibiotics to use? - I am pretty certain she needs them because the swelling just does not seem right, even if the toe is broken. Also I am going to be keeping her locked up in the chicken coop during the day, since the darn thing insists she can still run! even with a limp, and I would hate to see her injure herself more.
Thanks!
