Callus, or something bigger?
Hi! I'm a tad nervous about something I'm seeing develop. Today I noticed a white callus-type thing show up on my duck's left foot (picture included). The spot is only a tad raised (the picture makes it look more pronounced than it is) and the area definitely feels more 'rough' compared to the... -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
Hi!! Just a quick little update! Moe is now in her forever home!! :D Thank you for all your help on this thread, but after having my mother feel around on the right leg (I personally can't discern a tendon, I don't know how to feel for one) we came to the conclusion that she has also slipped... -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
Of course, 100%. I've already come to terms with the fact that she won't live life like a normal duck, and I'm more than happy to provide her with the care she needs to at least live happily. Tomorrow she'll be moving into her forever home, and we're gonna go over our options. If push comes to... -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
Got it, thank you for the advice!! We have the Durvet B Liquid Complex actually shipping out at the moment. It's supposed to be here by Tuesday, if not (hopefully) a little earlier. These supplements are kinda all we got at the moment and we're trying to make it work atm. :,) Thanks again for... -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
Hi! The Durvet Vitamins & Electrolytes for poultry. There's an enclosed scoop that's about 5gm of the stuff, with 22.5 mg of niacin. Since the scoop is 5gm per gallon and we currently don't have a gallons worth of water for our one duck, we haven't been giving her that much in the water, but... -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
Sure thing!! Thanks again for all your help. A side view, left-facing. Two back-facing photos; thought I would include the 1st one as well seeing as she does tend to step on her feet when she walks. This is the best front-facing one of her I could get until she unfortunately fell again. I... -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
That would be beyond awesome, thank you. :hugs If you'd like more images I'd be happy to send you some :) Our vet mentioned nothing about a niacin deficiency, but did recommend that we stay on the supplements. -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
Decided to send some photos in the end, ha. Pictured closer is her right leg. Her left bows out more than her right does- but I can't quite tell/compare. Here's a (kinda) front photo. Her left clearly bows out more than her right does, but again I know this isn't a complete straight shot-... -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
I think so? I can provide a photo of her standing if you'd like. We felt the right in case she slipped her right one as well, but nothing felt out of place. -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
DuMor Chick starter + some Durvet niacin and electrolyte supplements in her food and water. We have another Durvet liquid complex coming soon, and once it's arrived we'll start administering it. -
Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out
Hi everyone!! I've recently hit a little bit of a wall here and would really like some advice. I have a 5/6 week old mallard, Moe, that has perosis/slipped tendon in her left leg. Recently, she's been doing great! She can stand like a normal duck and, while a little goofy looking, she can get... -
Moe the Slipped Tendon duck
Hi!! Some of you have probably read my last few threads regarding my little handful; and to those who haven't, nice to meet you! My previous threads have all outlined my journey with my 5/6 week old mallard, Moe. Moe has slipped tendon, and will not be able to live a normal duck life. At... -
What predators take ducks and chickens without a feather left behind
Hi- I am so sorry for your loss!! :( This spring, I lost a pekin in a similar way. At the time we had a coyote problem, so we assumed it had been snatched up by a 'yote. I'm pretty sure foxes hunt in a similar fashion, too. Sending you hugs. :hugs -
Slipped Tendon troubles
Hi!! Of course :) I have a few pictures on my other two previous threads, but I can masterpost most of the photos I have here as well. This was from last Sunday when I noticed the limp and the leg. I kept her separate from her other two siblings all that day, but couldn't be with her Monday... -
Niacin Deficiency in Duckling
Yes!! I've seen a few here and there online but I don't think I'm educated enough about them to know what they exactly do..? I'll just have to do a little research. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it!! :)
