Well he was progressing and then we had a set back. I took him to another vet that I finally found who specializes in ducks and his little legs were so deformed there was no saving him 😥 one wing was bigger than the other and his left leg has calcified at the joint. His right leg had fractures...
I posted an update he was doing better however this evening I noticed his right side which is the bowed side, is now curling on his toes. When he tries walking he puts his wing out to balance and his foot turns over. I have to turn it back into position. Is there something I can do to keep his...
Update on Juice. He seems to be progressing with the walking although still kind of balancing with one of his wings. He’s more active now and he’s trying to lift himself out of his tub of water when he swims which to me is major improvement from just sitting around. Thanks everyone for the...
Thank you I wasn’t sure on how long it actually takes. I’m continuing to do what I’ve been doing and pray he pulls through. He’s such a sweet baby I hate to not give him a chance 😊

No I don’t feel anything like that. The vet looked him over and pressed on his hock joint and said he was bow legged. But he does try to walk a little better now than a week ago and he’s standing up more. The vet said he wasn’t in any pain. I’m going to keep the hobble on him and try the high...
I have a four week old Pekin duckling I am trying to rehab. He’s been on nutritional yeast and b complex since 11/8. He’s still not able to walk well. Took him to the vet today and was told he has bowed legs and there is no cure for that. I’m not settling for that diagnosis. Does anyone have any...
