Sad news. As we were leaving the veterinarian, Limon had a heart attack. The vets, all 3 of them, tried to save her. We lost her. Fly free my beautiful baby girl
We just finished at the vet. X-rays today.
Limon has an oblique fracture of the right femur, near her hip. Casting is not possible. Vet said surgery would probably kill her.
I'm looking for advice from anyone else who's had this happen. She WILL NOT be euthanized. Don't even suggest it...
We aren't sure what caused the respiratory infection. We lost her sister and barely saved Limon when they were about 4 weeks old. Our water here isn't the best, so now we use bottled water. The babies had towels for bedding. The first vet missed the respiratory infection but our current vet...
Maybe Limon is prone to having problems? she's 2.7 kilos now. Quite small. And she's had 2 bouts of respiratory infection. Maybe the meds make her bones not as strong? who knows. I'd love to see your flock sometime.
I think the room transitions can be a problem (I sometimes trip too lol). They aren't always level in Turkey. Limon actually tripped over a table base. It's a folding table. This wasn't the first time. But she walks over this spot maybe 50 times a day.
In general, ducks don't do as well on...
We're home from the vet.
Limon has a broken bonein her left foot and a hurt toenail. Her right leg is sprained. Vet looked her over very carefully.
She has to stay in her travel carrier for 3 days to rest, then we return to the vet. New vitamins and antibiotics were given.
Vet suggests...
