I just went out to check on everyone and fill the dishes this morning and noticed that aspens ear ara looked dark and then when she turned i saw a glimpse of yellow. i scooped her up and sure enough she had the same thing that Bombay has going on right now
. I am not sure if it's because they don't leave the coop much to go wash down in the clean creek or maybe it's something with their ears (they are siblings). She came inside and i cleaned the puss off the best i could, a big piece came off the top right away thankfully so her ear opened up pretty quickly. She doesn't seem to be in much pain, yet.
Gave her 2 drops of Mometamax in BOTH ears because the other side looked a little crusty and I figured it wouldnt hurt to prevent it in case it was starting.
I am also still doing the Tetracycline in the water for both of them.
Here's a picture of her bad ear before i messed with it. Anyone had a duck/chicken with an infections like this before?
The camera didn't wanna get a good close-up pic, sorry. it's like a big, yellow-ish plug.
UGH... 2 ducks in the kitchen.....
