I'm giving him Amoxicillin. I can look into different meds but we happen to have Amoxicillin. I just need to find out the amount he needs.. I think he is about 9-10 pounds..

You've already started giving it to him or you are now waiting to find out how much?

Whoops I deleted the bracket.

We gave him a tiny bit.. Just to get him started. It wasn't a lot at all, I can assure but I need to find out how much a day and how much before we continue.

He needs 500 mg twice a day.

Yep, I gave pills orally 2x per day. I started the same day or the night before I removed the bumble, if I remember correctly, but that was due to an error on my part. The duck healed fine and has not had a relapse.

Looking back at her pictures she had some really bad swelling too!
Refresh my memory.. Was there a lot of puss? Like. . liquid type puss or yellow core like puss?
