Duck with broken femur! Advice needed! Help!
Shes home! She had 3 pins put in and a rod. I have a soft playpen coming for her, but her carrier in the cage seems to be working well to keep her still. I haven't moved her from her carrier. I just changed the pee pad underneath her and made sure she was clean. She can move around a little bit...- Fairywoodducks

Duck with broken femur! Advice needed! Help!
Update! Emmy had surgery today and had to have 3 pins put in. The break was at a very sharp angle and the surgery took a little longer than expected. However, she pulled through and if all goes well this evening the vet is very hopeful for nearly full recovery!- Fairywoodducks

Duck with broken femur! Advice needed! Help!
Sadly my duck Emmy (she's 3) took a tumble and broke her left leg/femer. The vet said I might be able to find a local vet to put a pin in her leg or the other option is amputation. I know birds have a hard time going under for surgery. I'm hoping her leg can be fixed, but is it too risky? Should...- Fairywoodducks

Treatment for foamy eye
Awesome! I used Terramycin and it worked like a charm. I put apple cider vinegar in her water to help out before I could get to the store. That and flushing the eye and Terramycin definitely seemed to work. What a relief!- Fairywoodducks

Eggbound duck
My almost 2 year old khaki Campbell, Amelia, is having problems with an egg. Looks like she is pushing with now luck. She is eating, drinking, foraging, and pooping. I soaked her in a warm epsom salt bath for 30 min and then let her rest. She does seem tired and hurting. She did lay a good egg...- Fairywoodducks

Is this bumblefoot?
Hey all! My drake Campbell has what look like callouses on this feet. I've posted the photo below. Should I be soaking him in Epsom salt? Are these even anything to worry about or just normal wear and tear? I dont want to put him through a unnecessary treatment. Thank you!- Fairywoodducks

Dew claw bumblefoot
There is a little scab. We just finished a bumblefoot on one of our girls. She healed quickly thankfully, I'm hoping the same with Campbell. He's had bumblefoot before and it took 7 weeks to heal.- Fairywoodducks
