I am still caring for the duckling I have that has the shriveled up feet. I've been feeding chick starter with Brewers yeast mixed in and also giving it poly vi sol. His feet are getting worse and it's getting harder and harder for it to get around I've noticed. I found a vet that can see it but...
We do have Raccoons here :( my husband took some poultry fence and put around it over top so it's double layered now! I'm still not to sure about putting my other duck out there though. I'm not sure if it will ever have a normal life :(

He is walking on his "knees" it's both feet but one is worse then the other. I think I'm going to try the liquid vitiamns I gave that to it last night and this morning his feathers are looking better!

Thanks for the help! You have no idea how much I appericate it! I Found a vet close when I typed it in. I'm going to call first thing in the morning and see if they see ducks or can point me in the right direction! I feel so helpless with it going through all this. Maybe I was prepared for...
