I did that and the duckling made this awful noise like it was in tremendous pain, so I took it off. I have done this in the past and never had an issue with it. We have a vet appointment in the morning, so I'm hoping he will have some recommendations.
She does swim, but not like a normal duck. Pretty much just a circle. I can hold the knee and her leg will bend and look normal, but it wont stay that way.
Three days after she hatched another one hatched. I put them together and she seemed to be doing fine. Then 2-3 days in I woke up one morning to find the new duckling had died during the night. I have no clue as to why it died. Therefore, I take this one with me to work during the week, so...

I'm wondering if anyone else has done this and what the...
I believe a snapping turtle is to blame for this. I've cleaned it with soap and water and flushed it with peroxide. I've brought him in, so I can try to help. Just not really sure what all I should be doing. He doesn't appear to be eating much at all and of course that concerns me. Can I give...
