    PLEASE HELP!! Duck seems really skinny :-(

    Hi all! Thank you so much for responding. She went to the vet a few months ago and she was worm free, that was maybe 2 months ago. She has a slipped tendon on her right leg so that is why she can't use it. She is a very happy go lucky duck so I never felt the need to give up on her and put her...

    PLEASE HELP!! Duck seems really skinny :-(

    I have a 6 month old female Welsh Harlequin who has an issue with one of her legs so she only uses one. I have noticed that her sternum seems to stick out quite a lot and she seems skinny to me.

    One thing I do for her that she loves is after she gets done with swimming or usually at her night time hand feeding, I will take an ointment called Aquaphor and I will massage her bad leg with it.

    @localife I too have felt so alone and thought I would never find anyone that shared the same issues.

    PLEASE HELP ME I'M DESPERATE!! :-( Duckling with a slipped tendon

    So now I've been noticing that her bad leg is kind of laying outward. Instead of the leg/foot pointing forward it points outward. Is there a way to correct that? I'm really afraid that she is passed the window of it being able to be fixed.
