Yes she's really lovely. Probably my fav. And so petite! I need new pics of her. She doesn't stand still very long

If it goes gangrene, then you'll have to suck it up and amputate it yourself... or put her down... not being mean, but being truthful... gangrene is no joke... and won't get 'better'... and it's a horrible thing to suffer through until it kills them...




Same goes for what's I gots too... am just super duper broke right now... :/
A little redness and *slight* swelling can be irritation from the part getting caught, banged, etc... watch for significant swelling, redness that spreads, whitish/yellowish lumps, dark discoloration, bad smell...

And stop looking crap up... just ask here or PM...

Maybe give her a few days of no soaks... let that part dry out more... might help it get brittle to fall off easier...

Thank you Ravyn. I promise that whatever happens, I won't let her suffer.... She's my responsibility and I gotta do what I gotta do.

Have you ever used meat tenderizer on a horse cut . I wonder if that will help . Also it is  it is very risky but you could further restrict the blood flow to the foot . The problem and expense here are the bones in the foot . Otherwise it would not be much worse than a frost bit comb . Banti whatever is going to happen is going to happen . your doing all you can and if your like me can't spend $300 on a twenty dollar duck .     I would just wait it out hope for the best .

Thanks

Cathy said it.  It looks like frost bite had to come back for another look . I don't see any outward signs of infection here . As a matter of fact it looks good for the length of time its been since the attack.  I would say what ever you've been doing is working .

Great, thanks..... Got a bit nervous there for a bit...

That foot looks shriveled and dry.  My "Peg" gal's foot looked like that before it fell off.  Once it did, the knob healed over and she had a normal life with the stub.  She did have to learn to scratch with the other foot as the peg wasn't very effective.

Smell and liquid and swelling are bad.  Dry and shriveled, while not good, are signs that things are going normally.

I don't think you'll need to amputate, but time will tell.

Thanks

she's from mine? How come I never think my birds that I keep look that good and then I see them at somebody else's house and I'm like dang, that's a nice bird!
Pigeons! I swear!
Agreed on the gangrene. I don't see anything concerning with the foot yet. I would also do as Raven said and not let her bathe for a few days. may help it dry out so it can fall off.
I agree with this completely. The rooster I had that lost his foot took forever to lose it but looked like your Ducks foot does and finally one day it was just gone. Frostbite is some nasty stuff and takes forever to heal
I wouldn't want you any other way!
Welcome to the pond. Watch out for the python
oh, is python back?

Thanks

Gonna sit here quietly on my lily pad today. Don't anybody come too close as I'm fighting a fever/chills sort of cold.

Forgot that I got a few decent ones of her on Sunday. They are just over 6 months old now.






And caught a little love action going on... right in front of the dogs!

Hello! Seen this thread around and it seemed like a fun enough thread. Got the café so might as well hang out at a pond too

Ah, now I did not say the least normal - there's some tough competition here on the pond for that accolade

. Think about it - Sour always claims he's the most normal person he knows...

And, indeed, I am.

Sour is our well known Uncle George, nothing odd there...

Nothing odd for sure.

I can already hear his reply...

Sour, don't forget to clear that lily pad next to you again... methinks the deep end dweller is hungry...

Sour is sick - all would do well to stay their distance.

Feel better, friend.
