What are some pain relievers for ducks that don’t require a prescription?

Nothing good...

He is still in extreme pain. You can see it in his eyes. His feet and lower legs are dying and it'll probably be weeks before they actually fall off.

I went to our vet yesterday. They told me they couldn't sell me either drug because they were prescription only. They couldn't write a prescription because they don't treat ducks.

I can buy live virus vaccines, needles, and antibiotics, but I can't buy a mild pain reliever used for dogs with arthritis. Really? I know they're trying to prevent it from being abused, but still.

I really don't want it to come to this, but I think I need to consider putting him down... It'd be cruel to make him suffer this kind of pain for weeks.

I found online you can use Gabapentin for pain in duck's, that's what I am using on my raccoon muled duck.
