Swollen Foot in Khaki Campbell Drake

[Miss Lydia]

Are you wrapping your duck in a towel? that is the best way to keep those wings under control and keep him still.

I believe 7 days is max. Is the last picture without swelling today? It looks much better.
@casportpony can you please advise?

the last photo is his other foot

No, because it's not the wings that are the problem. He kicks his feet.

Well that little bugger. Hold onto them with your hand. They can sure be spunky that’s for sure.

@pekincochin12 is there an option of taking your duck to a vet?
I'm hearing that if you go longer than 5 days on Baytril you risk yeast infection.

I'm unfortunately thinking that's where we're headed. I'm going back to school though, so I'm going to have to convince someone else to take him. We were hoping to avoid this because I set a "dangerous" precedent of taking my other drake there. They all deserve everything, but it's not practical to take them all in for everything. I'll see what we're able to do, thank you for all your help.

I have seen people use clear totes for soaking, with a hole cut for the bird's head through the lid (the lid is taped around the hole to dull the edges), or you can put on sponge pipe insulation around the hole edge using the slit, and tape that in place.
