    Duck with slipped tendon on leg

    Thanks for the suggestion of pain management. The vet did not mention it so I will be sure to ask her. I did notice that his leg seems to be getting worse--he's using his beak to hobble--a new development. Sadly...It almost feels like maybe he's gotten too heavy for his one leg.

    Duck with slipped tendon on leg

    Effie does look like a happy duck. I see her foot is flattened out which is good. I did notice that when I placed Jumper (the slipped tendon duck) in the deeper pool he enjoys himself tremendously--he does flips in the water and preens himself a lot. When he's on the ground he tends to sit a...

    Slipped Tendon (perosis) in Ducks

    Yes! His 3 sisters will be with him. Here they are! We have them all in a temporary home (modified crate) now but am hoping to get them a nicer coop but it's really hard to get a duck coop/house. All the coops are for chickens with the nesting boxes and the roosting poles.

    Slipped Tendon (perosis) in Ducks

    Just a short update. After much prayer (I know, so silly to pray over a duck, right?) I think that Jumper still has a joyful life so we will keep him. So I'm going to be looking to buy a duck coop (is there such a thing?)

I wish I had known this 4 weeks ago but as ducklings grow so fast the local vet (not too many duck specialists around her) doesn't think it's fixable. Still, if...

    Duck with slipped tendon on leg

    Thanks for letting me know. I keep forgetting I should have it listed as "unlisted" as opposed to "private" on YouTube.

    Duck with slipped tendon on leg

    I thought I'd paste a video link here of Jumper to see if anyone has suggestions on what we should do with him/ for him.

    Duck with slipped tendon on leg

    We have a mixed Khaki Campbell breed and he's now 8 weeks old. Six weeks ago when he was only 2 weeks old he started to look like he had splayed his right leg so after watching many videos on the internet and researching how to fix this I applied a splint on his leg and tried to get them taped...

    Intro

    Hello, We don't have chickens but we do have ducks. So when I see that there were others who have ducks in the forum I thought it would be great to connect with other duck-minded people like ourselves. This is our 3rd brood. Five years ago when my daughter was 11 she wanted to raise some...
