    Broken toe?

    Hello all, could use some help treating my duckie. Noticed that she was limping a few days ago and her left foot was swollen. Both feet had scabs on the underside so I started Epsom salt soaks with iodine, cleaning with vetricyn, and wrapping it up with ichtammol thinking she had bumble foot...

    Slipped Tendon troubles

    Hi! This week's been all sorts of crazy; I wanted to make a separate thread detailing my experience so far, and hopefully get some help. I've felt nothing but defeated today and would really like to get some insight from others. Last Sunday, I noticed my 4/5 week old baby mallard, Moe, began...

    Limping duckling

    Hi! We recently took in three mallard ducklings that had been left without a mother. They're about 4/5 weeks old, and have shown no other issues or conditions until this morning. When I came to check on them outside after feeding my big ducks, I noticed one of my babies, Moe, has developed a...

    BooBoo on Waddles’ bill

    Hey y’all! My Pekin, Waddles, has what looks like a little red injury on her Bill. Is this something to feel concerned about? Or will it heal on its own?

    Injured Pekin Duck

    On 4/14/20 we went to let our chickens and ducks out and we noticed our Pekin duck wouldn’t walk. We suspect she got up on a shelf in the coop and fell off. I looked online for other similar injuries and followed what people said they did. We have had her in a small dog crate since the day she...

    Help w/side injury on a duck bill

    We've dealt with more minor duck bill injuries in the past, so this is our first time experiencing a more serious one that we need help with, if anyone can. One of our dogs got territorial over a piece of wood about 3 days and nipped at one of our girls—but that nip got hold of the front side of...

    Limping Female Pekin Duck - what should I do to heal her?

    Hello, I hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day. So I previously had a duck pass away after she had been limping/immobile for a few weeks out of the blue. I came home and she was passed away laying by the coop with the other ducks and it was really heartbreaking. Now I have another one of my...

    Using baby aspirin for a sprained leg

    Hey all! My 8 month old cayuga girl, Emmy, sprained her ankle coming out of the pool the other day. I have her quarantined from the other 4 (one is a drake, and he got one thing on his mind, which is not good for sprains) and I have been soaking her in an epsom salt bath. I have read that baby...

    Cut on Foot

    Hey guys, One of my ducks got out of their designated area and cut part of the webbed part of his foot! I think it was on the metal fencing that he snuck through. What should I do to treat his foot? So far all I've done is soak it in hydrogen peroxide.
