What’s wrong with my ducks’ feet?

[KittyIsQuackers]

My ducks had something similiar thats was caused by an infection. If it is the same, there are things youcan do to help like they posted above. But if it doesnt get better, try the vet if you can. My male pekin looked similiar to that along with bumblefoot. The infection deeveloped really quickly in him compared to the others and infection got into his bones. He didnt survive it. My suggestion is like theirs above, but id feele for a fevered foot, one thats hotter then it should be, thats about when id take them to the vet.

The foot wasn’t hot, and thank you for telling me about this.

Ok. May be a good idea to watch out for that and if bumps start appearing in other places.

Okay, I put them up and put the poultice on Dragon’s foot. Hopefully she gets better!

Keep her in a soft warm box for the time being.

Thank you! I’ll try that tonight before I put them up (in about fifteen, twenty minutes), and hopefully she will improve!

Good luck. baby duckies looking to you. they will be better

Okay, I put them in the bath, waited 25/30 minutes, and have just taken them out. I checked the bottoms of their feet, and all of their feet, except Dragon’s, look normal. I think she might’ve stepped over some barbed wire somewhere along the fence, but that wouldn't have hurt the top of her foot, and the top injury is round, not a line.

I’d treat like bumble apply some neosporin or triple antibiotic and cover so it stays clean then check in s few days you may have to wrap again depending on if it’s scabbed over.

Has it been unusually wet where you are?

It has been wet here, I live in Tennessee and the rainy season is starting up.

I don't know if I would be able to wrap her foot, so is it okay if I don't wrap it?

You can try just putting an antibiotic ointment on it and keep an eye on it.
