Thank you. It means a lot. I can't believe how hard it is. But I find myself especially attached to Yeti and Miracle.
I guess when you pour so much of your heart and soul energy into healing something, it does that.
At least I did my best, and gave him a good life, and I will continue to do my...
For those who want to know
Miracle is doing wonderful and has happily integrated with her mom and dad.
Surprisingly, she has become the most flighty of my ducks and doesn't want anything to do with humans now that she has her other ducks to play with. It kind of hurts because I miss her cuddles...
Well, I don't know if anyone will read this final chapter to the story of Yeti...
I found him in the yard on the 17th, in shock, after the hens seemingly ganged up on him. His tail and back feathers had been pulled out and he was pecked badly. I ran him inside to get him warm and give him sugar...
I will get pictures later today.
Turns out yeti has hook worms and giardia.
And possibly Merriks disease.
I'm not 100% sure how to treatment the parasites or how to test for Merricks.
If yeti does have merreks i will have to euthanize him/her.
What adorable ducks! Looks like you have two Pekin ducks and the others look like they are maybe Welsh harlequin ducks or silver appleyard? Too bad about the 2 with disabilities, but they seem to have a great life!
Yes miracle is getting bigger and dorkier as the days go by. Since it is winter here i finally had a warm enough day to let her swim, and she is the only duck I've met scared of water!!! She took an hour to actually do anything in the water! Haha.
The silkie isn't getting better sadly, but still...
Guys it has been a long while!!! MIRACLE HAS GROWN HUGE! And she is getting her big girl quack already!
But she still thinks she can lay in the palm of my hand... Poor girl!
Well I think that is the silkie has coccidia, but every place I look for corid, they are out and won't get another shipment for weeks!
I also couldn't find the spray or dust!
But on the bright side , miracle is almost triple the size she was at birth!!!!!
