    Best thing to do for duck with badly hurt eye??

    Hey guys.. My male attacked my female (His leg is hurt and is unable to balance and mate with her so i assume he's a bit frustrated) Essentially he scratched her eye really badly. She is lucky to keep her eye as he mainly hurt the eye lid and scratched the cornea slightly. The vet prescribed...

    Pekin Female randomly stops eating

    Hey guys sorry i didnt get back to you sooner :) The vet said Pippin is fine - Merry (The male) is just being an ass. She is a bit submissive towards him and sometimes he gets a bit cocky - She will be okay though. He's calmed down. But on the other hand his leg is getting much better! he's...

    Pekin Female randomly stops eating

    Hey guys! Thank you all so much for replying. Turns out Pippin (My Pekin) is just super fussy. So i gave her a few crickets and she got eating again. She's a super spoilt baby and freaks her mom out. My other Pekin Merry cut his leg on something (still trying to figure out what as there is...

    Pekin Female randomly stops eating

    Hey guys so I have a Pekin who is 7 months old. Vets don't know what is wrong with her as she is really small and has had leg problems since a baby. She randomly stops eating sometimes.

    Lax tendon in duckling leg

    Hey guys. So Pippin will be getting xrays and hopefully we can see what's going on. Although he's doing much better today already. Still not 100% but seems better. Not in visible pain. Another vet said that if it's his tendon then 6 weeks rest is best. So will see

    Lax tendon in duckling leg

    So essentially pippin can't put any weight on his leg and tries not to. He tips forward when he tries to stand so I try and calm him to get him to lie down and eat, which he does. I don't really know how to describe what I'm seeing because it honestly just looks like the joint is incredibly...

    Duckling of 2 weeks can't stand properly? - New duckling mom

    Ok so I took Pippin to the vet and they explained that I was over nourishing. Essentially that he was growing too fast for his ligaments to catch up which was causing the weird walking. Vet suggested I let him walk around on flat surfaces for a while and cut back on the amount of niacin and...

    Duckling of 2 weeks can't stand properly? - New duckling mom

    Thank you for the reply! Pippin walks after me in the garden on soft grass. I walk slow enough for him to waddle along but seems to sprint mostly. I'll walk and he'll stop so I walk again in hope he follows but he waits a bit and then sprints. So he's either on grass or on tiles while in the...

    The EMERGENCY Thread!!!

    He's a lone Ducking all his siblings died due to neglect of the owner. The duckling was found close to death and I've been taking care of him as best I possibly can. I'm not sure the temperature because I've been using a normal yellow light bulb (I'm really not sure the watts) during the day and...
