I guess I'm feeling it's infection also, that I didn't getHe felt her legs and checked them over, said the heat was a sign of infection to him. He admitted he never dealt with bumble foot (only dealt with cats/dogs) so wasn't too sure about all that. I explained everything to him, what I've been doing and how I'm not sure which it is break or infection. He asked me to let her down so he could see her move. She began limping to her pals and he said "she's putting to much pressure on that foot for it to be broken". He said to get some antibiotics right away, that that's what he'd do and give it a week. So..... That's what I'm going to do. He showed me how to give the injection, this was my biggest fear!
Update... We've had 4 days of penicillin injections, tonight is the last injection. I've been doing es soaks and putting the clear iodine drops on the bumble. Last night the swollen area was not hot for the first time. Today it seems the swelling has gone down some. I'm going to give her the final injection tonight. Then soak every other day for 5 days. We will see. She is in great spirits and still laying eggs (they are being tossed due to the meds).Fingers crossed it will begin to heal...Fantastic the Vet came to see the Duck...
Best wishes....
