Feed her anti-bacterial herbs. Ducks love fresh greens of any kind, so this is easy to do. Garlic is good, too, but I’ve found ducks less receptive to eating garlic. If I mince the garlic and mix it with peas, they ingest some of it, at least.

Omg, yes, I didn’t even think of that… too simple. I have lots of fresh oregano and I guess maybe put some ground glove into their water, if I’m lucky, they drink it.

Thanks

In humans that area would be a submandibular or submental lymph node. They are “built” like a catcher’s mitt, to grab potentially noxious organisms. White blood cells migrate to the area and kill the bad guys in the lymph node. Brew some echinacea or golden seal tea and put it in their water as a blood purifier and immune booster. It won’t hurt the healthy ducks either. Maybe another bowl of water with ACV (apple cider vinegar) as a good probiotic. Gut health may matter. Keep us in the loop for how your girl is faring please!

Oh my goodness, I just saw your reply. Thank you so much for the info. My girl is doing much better and has healed nicely. I added some of my oregano in one pail of water and some poultry cell in an other pail as a general supplement boost. I’ll definitely keep your suggestions for next time in my notes. Thanks again.

So glad she’s better!
