I havea duck whose ankle appears swollen.She favors the leg/foot. The other ducks are fine, but seem to protect her.Are there any common things that can go wrong and what suggestions are there to help her through this?

Symptoms: Lameness, Lumps And Swellings

    swollen ankles or legs are usually a result of a bacterial infection in ducks unless obvious trauma has occurred.

    Antibiotic injections such as Tylan 200 or Baytril are indicated. Other treatments may be reccommended, seek a veterinarian's advice please

    Every day I see pets come into my clinic injured and unwell. Its always so upsetting knowing that treatment could be taken a lot further only if the owner had taken out pet insurance. You have health insurance, so should your pet... Dr Brooks
