I've also used vetericyn on a bumble with gauze and vet wrap to keep it attached. Can be tricky on a ducks foot because of the webbing.

look for big a scab on the bottom of the foot that would be the source of infection. Hard to see an old wound in the picture tho, any incidence that would have broken a toe? Does your duck fly? Mine take some pretty hard hits on landings and seem to weather it fine. If it is bumblefoot your on...

had a swede lay black eggs

They stay pretty isolated, never really see more than one or two at a time out here and they're 100s of feet apart. Still one or two would be enough to do some damage to a small duck or duckling.

those are here, it would be like getting stung by any other type of wasp, only those speciffically hurt like heck.

this is all very thorough and good advice. I swear by vetericyn for open wounds. My wood duck took some serious damage to her chest as well as a few scrapes on head and back, from an unknown late one night. Kept it clean and sprayed and wrapped and gave her clean water to bath in several times...

table saw but still, tips are first to go

ain't that the truth.

She's a woodduck, rescued off a city street at 3 or 4 days old, dearest of my fowl As a duckling June last year Attimus

Pegleg Pete here just posing for the camera. Lol, Qbert can be such a goof sometimes, look how serious she is. Attimus

Such a sad note paired with so many positive introductions into the world. This time last year I was dealing with some predator issues and it always sucks no matter what. I'm sorry for the loss, I also dread the day I have to make that choice with my dog, he's like one of the kids you know...

Currently no, there's a drain at the bottom with a valve out the back side, I have two large submersible pumps that I'm planning on incorporating into a water fall but that's later. It's been over a year since I dug out the small hole that is now a giant cement puddle and I imagine I'll spend at...

Lawnmower had to be awful. It kinda crazy how many people I've run across that have lost a fingertip or two. I love building stuff for the birds, its pretty much a hobby and my downfall:) Attimus

Lost a fight with a table saw a few months back working on this fence, took the tips of two fingers....from my good hand. Happy to be back at it tho. Attimus

Finally getting back to putting the fence up around the pond after the accident. Attimus

I use gamebird flight conditioner to help mine through their molt. Always seems like a ducks molt is harder than a chickens, even tho my chickens can look awful during, it just seems more painful for ducks. Attimus

Storey's guide to ducks recommends misting from day 4 to 26 with 100° tap water. I'm certain there are more here with hands on experience. Attimus

OK so that just happened. Can't believe I was just talking about this but some friends are over and a close step by one of them caused her to do just this. Better give her some treats to reinforce the idea of it. Attimus

Plenty of shoulder pics. Here's a few :) Now I just need her to fly there :) Attimus

Im still convinced I can get my wood duck to fly up to my shoulder. Rest of the flock like most others here tolerate me as the giver of food and snacks. Attimus
