Something stuck in duck web foot ... we think

[Maayan]

Our 3 week old Call Duck is limping and it looks like something is either stuck under its web foot or infected under the foot. We are going to try to soak the foot in Epson salt water but want to know if anyone has other suggestions. Photo here. Thanks.

That is Bumblefoot.

Thanks so much. Would you recommend using Manna Pro Theracyn Pet spray? Seems like it would help.

You'll need to soak it for a few days until you can pull the scab off with your fingernail. then you've got to pull out the infection with tweezers. @Miss Lydia is a pro at this!

Soak in Warm Epsom salt water then after a few days use a pair of sterile tweezers and try and pull off the scab. Then spray with the Theracyn spray. You'll need to get the kernel out after the scab is removed if you can post a picture after you remove the scab. At 3 weeks old maybe it's not a bumble can you get a better picture of what your referring to?
