I am so very sorry to hear about Rosie. Oh my goodness she went through so much in her short life and you both were right there to help her through it all. So heartbreaking for you all to have to say goodbye. I know Ella will sure miss her sister hopefully the flock will welcome her when she is...

Since she probably isn't able to get her own grit from the ground I'd offer grit too. Can she bend her foot in a normal position at all? How about in water?

What did the surgeon rec as far as PT? I wish I could help but I honestly don’t know how to proceed. As for eating if she’ll eat the treats maybe you need to cut them down a little at a time until she only has her feed? Just a suggestion.

Hopefully getting close to the end of this for her and she'll be one happy duckling once she can swim and move around on her own.

That’s great to hear!!

Having a larger crate would probably help her move around easier unless you put water and feed at both ends but a larger crate might be better. I am not sure what you can do about her laying in her poop overnight except bathe her. I mean mine who haven't any problems lay in their poop over night...

Let's hope once she is healed and bandages are off she will be good as new! She's been through a lot in her short life.

They sure are precious. I forgot to ask will Rosie have therapy after the bandages come off?

I hope as she heals she starts perking up. Is she taking an antibiotic too? many when they have to wash their ducks because of wet feather use a blow dryer on low heat to dry their ducks. So no reason not to use one on Rosie. She'll probably enjoy the spa treatment. Did you find out if you can...

Did they say she'd have much pain? wondering if pain meds might be causing some sleepiness and depression?

I can only think of one person that might be able to advise @casportpony or maybe your vet?

That's so sweet. I can't get over how big Ella is. They just grow way too fast.

That's wonderful that part is over. Sorry both couldn't be fixed. What was the diagnoses for having the other one still slipped? I bet Ella and Rosie were happy to see each other.

You could put a mirror in with Ellie it won't be the same as having Rosie but it might help.

Let us know the day and time please. My goodness how they have grown ❤️

Rosie is a sweet name. I sure hope who ever ends up doing surgery can get her better. Bless her heart she needs to be able to run and play with her sis.

How did the vet apt go? thinking about you all.

Don't you go to the vet tomorrow?

True just thought you might get an idea of what might work for your little one. The part where the legs aren't touching the floor was interesting.
