    Emergency Help! Duck Strangled in poultry net fence

    UPDATE: She has made it through the night in an improved condition. Head is back to normal. Eyes still red but not bulging or bleeding. They actually were bleeding, I can see now by the crust around them. I got an answer from a vet on justanswer.com and we are now supporting her against shock...

    Emergency Help! Duck Strangled in poultry net fence

    Thanks. She turned her head to look at me last time I went in, so I have to assume she can bend for a drink if needed. It appears that her head swelling has gone down. She must feel just awful. Poor thing. I hope she makes it too. I am wondering about putting aspirin in the water to help with...

    Emergency Help! Duck Strangled in poultry net fence

    She is still stable. Motionless, standing and craning neck. Been in the tub over an hour. She is breathing normally it seems with some faint wheezing. Should I offer her some water from a dropper? Just leave her alone and hope for the best?

    Emergency Help! Duck Strangled in poultry net fence

    I just found a duck strangled in the poultry net. The fence was not hot. I found her laying still and not struggling. I cut her free. Her eyes are bloodshot. She is red in the nostrils - not bleeding just red. Her head is swollen. I last looked at the poultry about an hour before, so she may...

    Tell your 'what the heck was that thing?' scary story

    I thought for sure this thread would have been resurrected for the season. How disappointing. Some of the stories on here are so good. Here is a little something to bump it back up again. More "what the heck was that!" please. --------- When I was about 9 or 10 my Mom and I were looking for...

    New Puppy! Pics - guess the mix!

    Thought I would include another photo of Ruby standing just for fun. I also have my doubts about the DNA tests. I was pretty convinced that we had a Border Collie/Cattle Dog/ Bully mix. I am still not convinced that border collie is not in there. There are plenty of genetic contributors in the...

    Alright here it is! The Mom we met. Pic is in a previous post on this thread. She is the Amstaff / ACD mix. The other side was surprising!

    New Puppy! Pics - guess the mix!

    UPDATE: Ruby is now 11 months old and weighing in at 35 lbs! We got her DNA results back last week. Below is an updated pic. She has become very long legged and slight of build. She is extremely fast and can clear a 5 ft. fence easily from a flat footed position. She is a strong swimmer, has...

    New Puppy! Pics - guess the mix!

    I am getting very curious now...thanks for all of your thoughts and responses. Ruby is now 16 weeks. Her legs are getting quite long. I have plans to see one of the siblings soon for a play date. It"ll be interesting to see how he is turning out. I am thinking that the DNA test is in our future...

    New Puppy! Pics - guess the mix!

    Well, it seems we can safely say herding mix at this point. Punk - thank you for your clarification and posting those pictures. Seeing the different breed standards is very interesting. Especially the pic of the ACD from complete dogs guide. That really shows some robust traits like Ruby seems...
