Lesley Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I'm not sure about usinfg it for ducks. The best place to check would be on the Practical Poultry forum as they have a clinic section and a vet to answer any questions. I hope you soon find out and are able to treat all your poultry. Would you come back and let us know when you find out?, it would be useful to know. Thanks...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
