Anyone know if there is somewhere to get metacam over the counter just to have on hand? I have plenty for her and was able to find Baytril over the counter but just wanted to have some in my emergency duck kit
Her left leg (from looking at the picture” is actually fine. No swelling and she’s fully weight bearing on it. Gonna start Metacam and schedule xrays if that doesn’t work, have someone bring her for me
We’re doing work on their enclosure and was using twin to hold up part of it temporarily. When I went to let them out to free range she didn’t get up. She is broody and there’s a nest next to her. I assumed she was laying on them until I walked over and she was tangled in it.
She isn’t walked...
We have a duck with lameness after getting caught in a rope. We have metacam and Rimadyl at home. Which is the go to and dosing?
I’m currently Covid positive so I can’t bring her into her vet for X-rays so I’m trying to make her comfortable until I can but I feel horrible for her

Late update but very good one! We went to my primary vet, who has always seen my ducks. She confirmed the angel wing, which was obvious. We’re trying binding them to his body to see if it’ll help but he’s overall unaffected by it. We put him on metacam and doxycycline. His limp is almost gone...
I knew it damaged but I didn't know it changed permanently. I like to think some of it is age based since she is going white around the eyes as well but you might be right!
I suppose I should’ve said change color. I have a blue Swedish that has started to turn white with age. Terrible picture to base it off but this is how she’s bleaching out with age.
We took in another injured duck yesterday, only this one also has eye concerns. He had an appointment Friday but just seeing what y’all think! Has anyone seen anything like this?
