Please help!!!
Another wee update on Chekov!! She is up on her feet and keeping her balance well, which is amazing considering this time last week there was no movement and not a lot of hope for her!! Only thing is, she is still being fed by tube and to give her water I still need to hold the bowl up to her... -

Update on Chekov the duck. She is on the mend I think, she can sit with her head up and she can balance herself while swimming in the bath. Still not able to walk about yet as her neck is still weak. Tube feeding her 4 times a day and she is able to drink water by herself. She is very, very... -
Please help!!!

Please help!!!
So....I (think) I successfully tube fed her!! I liquidised her layers pellets, water and the oil from a vitamin e capsule. I gave her 35mls of this?! Because she hasn't ate for three days I wasn't sure how much to give her? Do you know how many times a day I should be doing this? Thank you guys... -
Please help!!!
Normally she feeds on duck food and layers pellets?? But she's not ate since Sunday and is very weak now, I have tried liquidising food, and she normally loves peas as a treat but just isn't interested and yet she is still drinking so much. What is wry neck? And can it be cured at all? -

Emergency Duck!!
If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!! Yesterday morning when I let my ducks out there was one missing, on checking the coop I realised that my 10 month old runner cross was still in. When I lifted her she was very limp and couldn't hold her head or neck up. So I brought her...- ashca
