sick duck

[ballers]

I have a duck who is 5 years, como7 months notice that one leg was swollen, the veterinarian who carried my duck did not know what had exactly and prescribed two drugs for poultry, gave the medicated for about two months and did not see nungún result I put epson salt, ointment remains the same, about a month ago that began to limp a little. I could say that it can be and what medications you can day, and ask all the vets where I live and none has experience in ducks.




I pictured having his swollen right leg looks

Did the vet say if this infection was bumble foot? what does the underside of the leg and foot look like maybe a pic? There are drugs for this kind of infection but I am going to ask one of our experts to take a look and see what she would use. @casportpony is a good one with meds and hopefully is on today.

Without know what's causing the swelling it's hard to say what drugs one should try. Best to find a vet.

Could be I was hoping they would post a pic of bottom of foot and back of the leg, OP says a vet gave meds and 2 months the ducks was on them with no change.
