wonky duck
« on: July 22, 2011, 14:19 »
Hello again - these flippin ducks!  They actually have been fine and a pleasure for ages, but today one of them is wonky.  She seems bright enough - eyes clear, tail waggling, head held high, drinking and eating - but she can't walk properly.  She can do a sort of crouched dash trying to avoid being picked up, but isn't fully getting her legs under her and standing up properly.  When trying to get away she did pass a small amount of totally clear fluid rather than a poo - is this normal.  They are not laying yet.

well, we gave her a (hopefully not toxic) cocktail of all remedies we had about us and today she seems to be a little better.  We kept her in this morning with her own water and food and let her out this afternoon.  She scuttled about more strongly so we are hopeful she is on the mend but any words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated :)

Sorry, I don't have any solutions but I hope wonky duck is getting better.

Ducks aren't the most elegant creatures on land and leg injuries are fairly common. these to tend to get better with time. Could it be this? How is she now?
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
