Gimpy is getting worse everyday, We tried calling Beaks they said put him down we said no they said call Florida Wildlife and no return call he just lays with his head under his wing. He eats and drinks with our help but it has to be hard on him so I am trying to think of a sling to build to...
The lady never called or showed up so we did not get the new one here is a pic of Gimpy from today he seems dirty cause he is allways rolling to get every where but he has all his feathers now.
will do Gimpy does not appear to be getting much better with his leg almost seems like it is useless to him he tries to use his head for a leg and just flops in circles, We may end up building a few special pens for him one inside one outside. We are not giving up on him but we do wonder if he...
The new pekin is coming from a home where they lost the other pekin they had and did not know what to do they sad he would not eat so they called here to see if we would take him in so maybe saturday maybe sunday he will be here. Gimpy you can tell is feeling better he is being a brat but still...
Until he can protect himself he lives in the house, he usually gets some time outside before his lunch every day to eat weeds or bugs or to see the other ducks. I think he likes all the attention we give him has he lets you know when he wants something and you better get it now or he gets mad...
we are hoping he will heal enough to walk he has feathers all over now and is quacking at me in the morning before I go to work. He lives in our home in the master bathroom it has a big tub for him to take baths in so it made sense.
He is holding his head up more and seems to like telling you he wants a drink or food this means pick up my bowl and hold it for me. we also call Gimpy "Friend".
update our search for Niacin was a nightmare however niacin is in Brewers Yeast I got some from a Health Food store lets hope it helps he seems to like it.
we do love our little gimpy duck even the pups are trying to sneak back to his room to check on him so with a little luck I will get the duck pen finished and create a spot for Gimpy where he is close to the others
thank you all, I will be trying ot work on a bigger outside pen for him this weekend, because he cant defend himself we are having to really think the placement for now we are giving him a bigger inside house, We will get those vitamins and hope that helps him. Thank you all
I thank the guys around here all the time for what they do for me, if not for them lord knows the trouble I would be in or if I would lose my temper on someone and do god knows what. They teach me to be calm so it is me that is lucky they let me care for them
