I really thought that maybe I could help her which is why I went and got her and it was way worse then what the woman told me :( It was almost like she sat down and somebody literally took her body and twisted it and her legs stayed where they were! She couldn't walk at all and she was a pretty...
The one girl is doing fine. I made the decision to take the other to the vets to be put down She was in bad shape. They were almost 3 months old, I guess she had been like this ever since they had gotten the ducklings....so for 3 months she was like this. Her legs were literally twisted...
Ling is doing great today :) Eliza (our one muscovy girl) has been hopping into Ling's pen at night and laying eggs lmao...we go in, in the morning to feed everybody and Ling is sitting on the eggs. Silly girl!
As of tomorrow Ling will have a friend. Someone who is in the same boat as she is...
You didn't lol I think she accidently wrote her response in with the quote when she quoted you.
I guess maybe it could have been a seizure but it really didn't seem like one. I'm starting to think maybe she was cold and it threw her off or something? I remember last year with my first batch of...
Thanks everybody. She had me scared. I was so nervous to open the coop door the next morning and when I did I see her peeking around the corner at me quacking lol She spent a couple hours out in the fenced in area outside with the other ducks/geese today after her swim. I was happy to see that...
Sorry I didn't update last night. She seems to be doing better again! Not sure what happened that night but I was scared. Here are some pictures from yesterday so you can see the progress she's making
In this one you can see her wing feathers are finally coming in!
Ling has taken a turn for the worse Not sure what's the matter as she was doing so well. My bf seems to think she is fine, but he's not the one down there everyday spending time with her. She just seemed funny this afternoon. So, I took her out and put her in the pool where she just floated...
Our vet does everything lol from feathered, to hooved, to paws. This vet is semi new, and very heartless.....and also one of the "not so experienced with birds" ones lol
Safe trip Veronica! And enjoy! I myself can't wait to go on vaca! Eeeeek 20 more days until SC lmao Anyways.....Ling is really starting to pick up speed a little This journey has been so amazing, and in the last few weeks that I have had her I went from no hope, to a whole lotta hope lol She...
Ling can't straighten her legs, well the right one she can, but not the left. She manages but I'm not sure she will ever walk 100% but that's ok and really it's only been 2 weeks or so lol She has her own little condo next to, but away from, the other ducks as they tend to pick on her. She...
Here's one picture from today...I need to get pics when she's dry lol she looks 100x better!
She loves my boxer Reeko, wherever he was laying she would waddle up next to him
Sorry guys lol Ling is getting better and better day by day! She walks more and more each day which is SO amazing! She's a spunky little girl now. I can see that she's growing now, and she has most of her feathers back! Hard to believe it's only been a couple weeks! Will post some new pictures...
There relationship is so funny.....we just got him 2 days ago and it was instant as soon as he saw her. He won't lay by her all the time when everybody is out together but he will run over and check on her every now and then and when the others get smart and think about picking on her he will...
She goes into the kiddie pool :) And she LOVES it! lol She is even able to get herself up on the ramp now! She gets so excited when she sees me come into the barn because she knows she is going in the pool :) Then I take her out and sit her in the grass by all the other ducks and she walks a...
This morning after her swim, I picked Ling up out of the pool and placed her on the ground where she usually lays and nibbles on grass...well today once her feet hit the ground she took off and was so excited lol Wasn't a full blown run, but was def no walk lol It only lasted a few seconds but...
Ling update! She actually WALKED today!!!!! It was just a couple of steps but she actually walked! No hobble.....she put her little chicken wings out and she took a few steps like an almost normal duck!!!! I cannot express how happy I was to see that! Maybe she WILL be able to walk again and we...
