    What do I do with my duckling?

    Wallie is doing much better. I've been giving him Epsom salt baths and bought him so artificial turf to walk on as it gives him more grip. He is walking around a lot more and falling less, he is also starting to use his leg more when swimming. Thanks for the help!

    What do I do with my duckling?

    Also, when he is swimming I notice that he doesn't use his injured leg at all. He lets it hang behind him. He only uses it to stand and clean himself. He also can't scratch his nostrils anymore which Duke does.

    HELP! Duckling attacked by otter!

    Thanks, it was a lake but I have seen snappers in it so I'll be sure to keep an eye out. It was a very bold otter, I had to grab it off of Wallie.

    I had them set up near the water, we were about to go for a swim when I ran inside to grad a towel and then it happened. I have them inside now. Thanks!

    I have two Pekin ducklings, Duke & Wallie. I got them when they were day olds. They are now 3 weeks old. I had them outside in a crate 3 days ago and Wallie was attacked by an otter when I turned my back for 5 minutes. His thigh was bit and cut in two small places and one big gash that was...
