Good to know! I had both vets tell me that epsom salts wouldn't do any good and not to bother, but then again the non-avian vet also wanted me to keep Pig's foot totally dry and not let her take any baths for weeks on end, and this just wasn't going to fly. I think the poultice is definitely...

I can't begin to tell you how much this made my day! I am SO glad you found some of this info helpful! I haven't posted any follow-ups because life, well, life happened. But thankfully I can say that Pig Duck is doing well and is back with the flock! It took a very long time and multiple refills...

Had our follow-up with the vet yesterday. Still no word on the culture/sensitivity. We're more than doubling the dose of the Amoxi-Clav. I don't know if it's purely coincidence, but once I started using the DMSO, I also started noticing a visible reduction in swelling. There are even wrinkles on...

Putting this info here in case anyone is curious, or reading through this thread to learn something about their own situation. I consulted with an avian vet on justanswer and she said if the swelling is just granuloma and not pus, it should eventually go away with proper antibiotic treatment...

I just heard from the vet. The cytology concluded granulomatous inflammation, likely caused by trauma. At three days the culture has not grown anything yet, but they keep it for a month so we'll see if something is slower to develop. The vet said it could also be that Pig's body walled off the...

The vet was more helpful than I was warned she might be. She drained as many points on Pig's foot as she could and got 3ml fluid from one extraction alone. We have both cytology and culture/sensitivity labs ordered and those results should be back in a few days. In the meantime she's started...

Would red iodine help with an internal injury/infection? The vet prescribed an antimicrobial foot soak but as a precaution since there is likely nothing going on on the outside of the skin. All the ducks get to free range on a large property during daylight hours. At night they go into a large...

Again, THANK YOU!

Do you think I should keep her on the LA 200 until we get to the vet? It has helped with some of the issues and I don't want her to slip in progress with those. That said, given her recent slump I also don't want to cause her the stress if the antibiotic is no longer useful. Also, should I stop...

Thank you! This is very helpful!

TL;DR: 7mo old Pekin duck has severe swelling the length of left middle toe. Online avian vets doubt bumblefoot or break/fracture. Has responded well to antibiotics, but toe remains swollen and lumpy and now foot is also getting hard lumps and overall condition appears to be worsening...
