    Cracked Duckling Bill - To Glue or Not to Glue

    Took the duckling to the vet today and they cut off that portion of the bill. They said the break looks okay and that he or she should be alright!

    Cracked Duckling Bill - To Glue or Not to Glue

    That’s our concern as well. We’re going to try to get the duckling in to a vet to take a look at it and see if they think that broken piece should be cut (😳). I’ll keep everyone posted!

    Cracked Duckling Bill - To Glue or Not to Glue

    I posted a couple days ago about my duckling’s cracked bill. My dog got a hold of her bill through the crate on Friday. So far so good. We’ve been keeping it as clean as possible. She’s eating, drinking, being her normal duckling self. So here’s the question… Do we attempt to glue the bill...

    Cracked Duckling Bill - Advice Needed

    Thank you. I just read through your thread about your duck. That gives me so much hope. I saw someone comment about Veterycin, did you end up spraying that on the bill or just the duck’s body? People above said glue the bill together, which we’re considering, but we’re a bit nervous and may opt...

    Cracked Duckling Bill - Advice Needed

    Thank you. They just became tall enough to stick their bills out of the crate over the cardboard walls I made, so those walls are getting bigger tonight! Do you think we should try to glue it or just leave it be to heal?

    Cracked Duckling Bill - Advice Needed

    Oh man. Any advice on how to go about that? Do you put something between their bills or just use a really really small amount? Just regular super glue?

    Cracked Duckling Bill - Advice Needed

    My dog got ahold of our duckling’s bill and cracked it. 😭 I read to just keep it clean and it will heal on its own, but any advice? We’re planning to clean it with saline solution and put antibiotic ointment on it. Should we try to pull the cracked piece together with steri strips? Any...

    Duckling with leg issue - any ideas?

    Hi @Miss Lydia - Another day, another duck problem 😩 My dog was quick and got one of their bills through the crate. I feel so bad! I’ve read they just heal on their own, just provide access to clean water. Anything else you advise?

    Duckling with leg issue - any ideas?

    Thank you for responding so quickly! They’re each getting 1 ml of the Durvet High Level Vitamin B Complex poured over peas. I usually give a little extra to account for anything that gets on the glass bowl rather than the peas. 1 ml per duck was what I saw recommended, so do you think I should...

    Duckling with leg issue - any ideas?

    I’m so sorry I missed these posts and I’m sad to hear about that other duckling 😢 Our ducklings are still doing pretty well. We do about 30 minutes of tub time everyday, although admittedly they don’t get out and walk around probably as much as they should, but it’s been tough with this...
