Hi all, I have my 1 y/o Pekin duck whom I’d very much have liked to save but I don’t think it’s going to go that way. Back in December we actually took her to our vet who did bumble surgery on her foot and infection had spread up the leg. We had her on abx for probably a month or 5 weeks and she did recover from putting no weight on the leg to where she now limps around and mostly either gets into the stream or just sits most of the day by herself. I’d have hoped to see more progress but I’m thinking this may be as far as she goes.
If that’s the case to be humane I was going to harvest her but wondered if the meat would be ok with an active leg infection? Also not thrilled about her having been on abx for a while but hopefully if that was months ago maybe not an issue? Wondering anyone’s thoughts or if they know of research on this? Thanks!
