Sunny Has bumblefoot! HELP!

[Amiga]

Bleenie, I like that, because I think starting as soon as possible with topical antibiotic ointment sounds better than waiting.

Yeah I might as well, gives me something to do. Should I get the opened toed shoes or the closed? I'm leaning towards closed to keep moisture out, what do you guys think? I'm trying to keep her off her feet as much as possible, so she's sleeping in her carrier on a fluffy pillow right now.

 

[Pet Duck Boy]

Oh, and neosporin should be enough right?

Yes, Neosporin is a good start. Just be sure to avoid the ones with "pain relief" as some pain killers are toxic to ducks.

I still strongly suggest looking for a vet that is familiar with ducks.

 

[Pet Duck Boy]

Ok, we're looking for a vet.
But so far, no luck at all. And to make things worse, my dad won't drive me to any place farther than 15 minutes.

It might be easier to find a vet if you search either for a vet that specializes in exotic pets or works with livestock instead of calling up random vets and asking if they see ducks.

 

[Pet Duck Boy]

The closest vet that takes livestock or exotic pets is about 40 miles away. My dad said a definate NO...
Everywhere else just takes cats and dogs, not even birds.

 

[Duck_feeder]

Sorry to hear that. Let's hope that soaking the feet and neosporin does the trick!

 

[Pet Duck Boy]

Ok, we bought the neosporin, corn cushions and providine-iodine.
How large should the container that we're soaking her in be?

Owh poor Sunny! Just a thought, if u get shoes for Sunny then you can still take her for walks, just put on the shoes first?
