whats wrong with my duck?

[casportpony]

we were not going to open the medicine yet, we were going to try the apple cider vinegar 1st, but when we do open it i will let you know!

Thanks, that would be very helpful!

yes, it looks like the green one, thanks for all of your help! we are going to give it apple cider vinegar 1st, for a few days then we will try the medicine. for the vinegar is it ok if she can swim in it?

Has she already been washing her face in the water with ACV? ACV can kill some bacteria but for a infection that your duck looks like she has I think I would go ahead and start the antibiotic @casportpony what do you think? I was mainly wanting you to give her ACV water while you were gone for the Tetracycline. I just don't think it's a good idea to use both at the same time since they may work against each other. After she has had full dose of antibiotic X number of days then start using ACV a couple days a week as a tonic.I think you would be better off putting it in their bucket they use to drink out of [nothing metal] though has to be plastic. i believe it would be easier to treat her with it in a bucket instead of the pool.

Thanks K.

 

[casportpony]

I agree, I would not use more than one thing in the water at a time.

[Miss Lydia]

alright thanks!

So what about an update? How your girl doing today?

 

[applebutter14]

she is doing REALLY good!!!!

she was in her baby pool and she jumped out by herself and she walked a bit, she is starting to stand without falling,

but she cant walk for a long time because she starts to stumble and it looks like she is drunk. her bill still has blisters and they are the same size, but i am so happy she is getting better!

Did you give her ACV in her drinking water or antibiotic? or neither?

I am happy to hear she is improving.
