I posted this in the general injuries/diseases forum, but someone mentioned it might be of use to link here, too.

Thanks, I think more duck people will see it here. How's the patient, and how are the duck caregivers doing tonight?

Oh, and thanks for responding to my question - I had missed the fact that you were giving injectable antibiotics. My apologies. When I asked about oral antibiotics, it was in consideration of preventing spread of infection.

id recommend a vet and try neosporin for now, that might take away some infection , but i do REALLY recommend a vet since he could lose a leg.
