I think the Epsom salt & vitamins are working! She is coming along slowly. To the right of me is the pond we made for them...I have a good feeling now!!
THANK YOU!!!!!
I am ordering the yeast now.
Her name is Deliliah
I soaked her feet in the epsom salt and even massaged them lightly. She kept trying to drink it and may have gotten a tiny bit.
I will do it again tomorrow with my husband so he can hold her head better.
I think she is improving. It's been...
Ok, here are two pics of her legs - one of her right and one of her left.
I believe she is a Jumbo Pekin. I am presently waiting for some arthopower vitamins - should be here today. Also going to try the Epsom salt if she will let us.
I feed them Purina duck grower - special food for ducks...
I am going to take a pic of her feet/legs tomorrow and post it. (She's in bed now LOL)

Thank you. Yes she has a nice pond to swim in, and I have been supervising them closely as he likes to jump on her in the water especially. She is fenced in her own little area now with food and water. Only time I let her out is when someone can sit and watch them.
I will try the epson salts...
I have a couple of Peking ducks - one male and one female. They are two years old.
We tried to release them into the brook on our property, but there were other Peking males living there that really beat up on the female. We made a nice home for her in our yard, and then the male we released...
