You’ve been nothing but helpful to me! Thanks again!😘

Once again, I must have not communicated well. I guess that’s typical when I’m stressed. I’m sorry. What I was trying to say is….if it’s given by mouth, no matter how you get it into the mouth, wouldn’t that be considered “oral” administration (as opposed to somebody giving a vaccine)? I...

Oh, no! I must have come across wrong in that post. I never thought YOU were trying to argue! I just didn’t want YOU to think that I was arguing. I’m a total newbie. I am only trying to learn. I want to be the best duck mom possible. I waited SO long, and I’m like a sponge. So please forgive me...

Wouldn’t this technically still be “orally”? It’s going into her mouth, not being administered with a needle. Not trying to argue, just learning. I just thought it might be easier since she’s all about food, but I’ll do whatever is necessary and best. Thanks again for your support! 😊

Hello again. I received my fresh supply of enrofloxacin 10% liquid today. Before I start her on it, I want to verify I’m dosing properly. She weighs 7 lb. 11 oz. I’m assuming I would round up to 8 lbs? So if the dose is .05ml/lb, would I be giving her .4ml twice a day? And can I squirt the...

Thank you!

So, she is really limping pretty badly today, and limiting her activities, which I haven’t seen her do prior. We must have really bothered something last night when we were cleaning up her foot. I want to get your opinions once again. I hope I don’t tire you out, but this forum is my best chance...

Thank you. I guess the challenge is to find what works for each particular situation. But I am thankful to be directed by knowledgeable folks like you all! My prayer (literally) is that we do right by her, and that eventually she will heal and this will be in the past. She has a small bumble on...

Oh no. I am so sorry. What salve was it? The one this vet prescribed is called Mupirocin 2%. I told the vet I had silver sulfadine. He said that would be his second choice, so I have just been using the Mupirocin. But I also bought a big tube of triple antibiotic ointment, as well as the PRID...

Thank you for the moral support. We really need it! 🙂

Thank you for your insight! I do appreciate everybody here and their willingness to share their thoughts and time. It was “Baytril 20” tablets. They were 22.7mg tabs, and I gave her one a day for 10 days. I did order some liquid Baytril yesterday to have on hand. Strangely, as big and gnarly...

Thank you for your input! I wish it were possible to bring her inside, but my situation does not allow. It gets confusing, as you see differing opinions. Some feel keeping a would moist helps healing. Others mention that once they made it dry out, that was key. I did order some Baytril...

Thank you! You have been very helpful and generous with your time. We appreciate it very much!

Well, before I saw your reply, we did her care for the evening. That yellow, squishy area had us both concerned, so we peeled off the scab and picked around in the yellowish area. A bunch of it pulled out very easily, like dead flesh. I’m assuming healed tissue wouldn’t just come off so easily...

Is this the correct product? Enrofloxacin 10%? https://jedds.com/products/enrofloxacin-10 And I would dose at 0.05ml/lb twice a day? Just asking for future reference.

I figured out how to post a link to a video of Georgie’s foot as of this evening. I just don’t know whether to keep pulling off tissue, or just let it scab over again. It looks like we could take the whole thing off again, but if we keep doing that, when will it ever heal up? Look at the...

She does seem very happy, always! Even her limp is almost gone. I am amazed that she can seem so unbothered by such a big wound. Here is a photo of her foot tonight. Is it possible to post a video?

Here is a photo of Georgie sporting her new boots. We only use one on her bad foot, but we make a pair each time we sew one so we have it down the road. We did notice a very small bumble on her good foot, but we want to try and get on top of this big one before we start treating the small one...

Thank you for asking! She is doing well. We are cleaning it and applying antibiotic ointment every evening. There is a “hole” that goes deep, and whenever there is “loose” tissue, I remove it. It’s hard sometimes to know what is healthy tissue and what needs to be removed. I try to force the...

Thank you! So you just put the syringe in their bill and squirt it in? I know it’s very bitter. Years ago I had to medicate various pet rodents for mycoplasmosis and I tasted it to see why they hated it so much. Awful tasting stuff!
