So just an update here in case it's helpful for anyone who goes through the same thing later on: She wasn't able to have the sutures removed 2 weeks after surgery as it wasn't healed enough, but she had them removed 3 weeks after and the vet had to remove a big scab in the process of that, so...

Oh I didn't even think of that with probiotics! Might actually do some good to my other duck with a yeast infection too. I've used multiple kinds in the past, but the only one I remember is Savachick. Would brand do you use? She's getting better and better at eating - when I gave them their...

Oh yeah, I meant to say, their normal food is actually mazuri floating in water. And then after awhile the mazuri soaks up all the water (if i put a lot of mazuri), so then it's just mushy food. All my ducks perfer food floating in water, to the point that they refuse to eat much dry food...

Yeah I've been worried it would come to that. I've done tube feeding before and it's not much fun lol. Although they do take it ok. I think I have all the supplies except for the formula (one of my vets previously gave me a baby bird formula to use) but I last used them on a duck with a throat...

I noticed it 3 days ago. I thought maybe it could just be feathers coming in. Or maybe it's staining from the iodine. I'm using diluted povidone iodine and also the regular vetericyn spray. It's also been a struggle with food, which wasn't something I was expecting before the surgery. I...

That's funny, I was just taking pics of her surgical wound today to ask what you all thought of it now! 😄 It's 11 days after surgery now and I think she's supposed to be back at the vets in 3 days to remove the sutures. It looks good except those 2 dark areas? Do you know why it's darker there?

Wow, I never heard of the hydrogel one! I used Veterycin spray years ago but somehow have never run across the gel one. I think I'll always keep both in my duckie first aid kit :) I have a small spray bottle of the sterile water and povidone iodine mix, how long does that last before I need to...

Great! So I picked up the povidone iodine and a spray bottle today. Tomorrow I'll get the vetericyn. I'm hoping maybe she starts eating better tomorrow. She still seems to be drinking OK. I think I missed someone's question above about followup appointments - my next appointment with the vet...

Thanks! Good to hear it's looking OK. I'm kind of paranoid about her. Her poop is small and green with not much solids to it, which indicates she's not eating well. At least it shows that she's eating something though. I'm having to keep her in her aviary outside with her 2 friends as I dont...

My duck had a tumor on her wing that kept rupturing and bleeding. To remove the tumor her whole wing had to be removed. The surgery was on Wednesday and I'm a bit concerned about infection. She's on SMZ liquid antibiotics and metacam for pain/inflammation and I'm rinsing the wound with peroxide...
