Could she have been stung? Then a pea sized dab of benedryl rubbed into the leg.

Are you talking to me or potatowaffles?

Do you think soaking the leg in water with epsom salts will help?

Hello!
I was wondering what many of you do when you feed ducks of different ages. I have 1 silver Swedish (10 wks.), 2 Pekin (16 wks.), 4 Pekin ( 8 wks.). I have been told to just mix the grower feed and the starter feed 1/2 and 1/2 since they are all together. Is this what you would suggest too? We also have 10 Khaki Campbell (2 wks) that are in a separate area. I'm pretty sure I will just keep them separate (until they can eat the layer feed the rest will be on) or feed them separate when they join the group. Ideas? Tips? TYIA

@Amiga I read that thread you posted. Makes me think I should get some colorless iodine. I wonder if you can use that in addition to vetericyn? It seems the iodine should only be used every three days so maybe vetericyn on the days in between? Maybe I should go post on that thread and bug Haunted55 about it, lol.

My gander has bumblefoot and I have been doing epsom salt soaks and iodine every night. Is there are reason not to do it every day?

Wish me luck, guys. I'm having my first battle with bumblefoot. Poor Biff, my sassiest bossiest duck.

Biff is adorable. Best of luck getting his web healed.

Thanks I called my dad and we made an appointment for her to go to the vet later. I thought it would be best to play it safe and have her checked out.

Sorry, I guess I put this in the wrong place.

I started a new thread.
