Hopefully! That little bump was odd.

I ended up dropping my duck off earlier at vet. They wanted to have her so when they had a chance to look at her foot. She just called me and from what I can understand she said it looked like an abscess so rather than cutting it open, she gave her a shot of antibiotic that should last several...

Did you ever figure out what it was on your runner?

Thank you for sharing that. Yes I know it’s really concerning! I’ve been on phone all morning calling around and I’m taking her to a local vet tomorrow morning who is willing to take a look at her foot. I explained everything to receptionist so vet will know what’s what beforehand. A vet about...

Was too dark when got home from work last night to take pic to show her foot. Here’s what it looks like this morning. I’m leaning toward taking her to vet since I can’t get meds quick enough.first pic is the top of her foot-second is the bottom. Any thoughts?

I understand now. I’ll feel for it when I go take wrapping off and let you know.

Yes I saw that after you mentioned about it being broken. I called a vet and the receptionist said they could see her but there’s not much they can do about a broken toe. I’m worried that if that’s the case then it’s probably already started healing wrong. Don’t want her in pain and don’t want...

No I’m not sure if there’s a broken bone. I can see how that could be a possibility. Gosh that’s not good. How do I check that? Now I’m worried lol. I didn’t notice anything different on bottom of foot but will take closer look. The baytril takes over a week to get here so that’s why I asked...

Not sure if poultice is going to do anything. I wrapped it again with poultice on bottom of foot. Do you think the baytril will help? Picture is before I wrapped it this evening. Just photos the top. The bottom appeared about the same.

Well I made like a boot and loaded the gauze with the poultice and wrapped her foot. It stayed on through the night until I let them out to graze this morning and somehow it came off. Will wrap again when put back in coop tonight. She’s still limping a little but it’s not stopping her from...

Will do!

Ok sounds good. Thank you.

I read through the link you posted and it was very helpful. My question is-the web would basically fold in as I wrap around the foot unless I make like a sole out of cardboard to place foot on like you mentioned. I can’t imagine them being able to walk on that foot like the vet did in the first...

Will do. Getting some today. Thank you.

Ok. No worries I’m not good with computers either. See my update!

Update! I pried out a tiny end of a thorn where I finally could see a tiny black dot! Got that out and felt over her foot good for anything else. Maybe that was the culprit. Soaked it again so hopefully it will start to heal. Will do poultice if y’all think I should still do. Getting baytril...

Ok yes-will try to get better picture. It’s hard to get her foot clean so will work on that. The little white patches are where the top layer of scabby like skin flaked off. So sorry-hard for me to explain. Going to do the poultice. Going to be challenging putting wrap on a webbed foot.

I took another picture of bottom of her foot and felt around for a splinter or thorn. I thought I felt something but it was just her skin or top layer peeling or flaking off, like it was dry. The swollen part is sort of semi hard. Not too hard and not too soft if that makes any sense. Foot seems...

I did get the link. I’m ordering some. Will try the Epsom poultice as well. I’m also soaking her foot for about 5 minutes at a time. Thank you for helping!
