Thank you @Miss Lydia :hugs

Thank you so much @gilbert2 that is very kind of you. I have updated on a few new threads but just to update here, I did end up losing Smeagol- I'm still not quite sure what exactly was wrong but she was only half the size she should have been and wasn't thriving at all. I tried all I could...

@thumper650 haha yeah! small underwear were the only thing I could think of at the time so I decided to sacrifice some of mine lmao! :lau

I have tried designing a couple but will have to do some more research but here are some photos! Sméagol in her chair, and Gollum in her makeshift diaper- don’t mind the panties I used hahaha. And then both were totally pooped after our experiments!

Thank you so much @DucksBySurprise and @Miss Lydia They are still doing alright- Gollum is getting very strong and seems only slightly inhibited by her legs and still walks on her hocks. I try to stretch the legs and move the joints but they are still so stiff that I can't tape/brace them and...

Thank you all @Miss Lydia @DucksBySurprise and @thumper650 I was just feeling so overwhelmed this morning...I think the feeling is more like, helpless that I am trying so hard and nothing is working, and angry that someone would neglect them like that to begin with. I had to go to TSC and...

I am at a loss as of what to do today...Smeagol is not improving and somehow her legs seem to be worse. Every time I think I've gotten somewhere with her it's like one step forward and five steps back. I have no idea how to help her and am not sure what could be wrong other than a structural...

I have Smeagol in a basket for now, but plan on finding her a more suitable one. I love the sling! I wonder if I could make something for her/them out of an old arm sling! I can sew also, so I will figure something out if need be :) Second dosing of vitamins this morning and more stretching of...

I think I will do the brewer's yeast in addition to their b complex (that seems reasonable since it's water soluble). I'll check around too and maybe I'll try two doses of liquid b vitamins a day if I feel comfortable with that. You'd think they'd just get rid of the excess if they don't need...

@biophiliac wow, thank you! I was afraid that I could OD them on niacin...is that possible?

I was thinking the SAME thing today hahaha. I even tried making her a flotation device for swimming (it was a fail, but turns out just changing the pool helped enough). I was even thinking of a little walking harness so I could help her but not too much so that she learns how to do it. I had pet...

@CayugaJana @Miss Lydia I can't even think of how I would do it...it's not like a hunchback type curve, it looks almost more like one hip is higher than the other, like her spine is twisted? It is odd, but we seem to have the same type of scoliosis. Only thing I can do for mine is strengthen the...

That's what it looks like to me too. I will just monitor it and try to figure out how I can keep their feet more hydrated. They are going to be a year old in May, so they aren't old at all. It's like Winter just took a tole on their poor feet even though I tried to keep straw down so they didn't...

We don't have an avian vet anywhere near me :/ I will ask around to a few folks who have chickens/ducks around here and maybe a family member who is in vet school would have an idea....

There's a video of little Smeagol. She wasn't trying to move around too much but when I help her back up, usually she over-corrects herself and falls down on the other side @casportpony and here are a couple pictures of my Cayugas' feet. Not sure how well you can see it, so I circled...

I'll get some video of them, definitely!

Funny, I just had xrays of my spine because I have scoliosis and I told my SO, "Look babe, Smeagol and I are the same!" I have pain, but I do alright. I know how to help myself, I just think I'm feeling discouraged because I have no idea how to help duck scoliosis and I don't want to hurt her...

I am so frustrated/overwhelmed today. I feel like Smeagol is not showing any signs of improvement and I am not sure how to help her. I am really hoping these vitamins do something, but I am afraid she has a structural abnormality that will not work itself out...her one hip is higher than the...

Thank you! Hmmm, I'm not sure, it's hard to say because they all have so much personality! I just love them all :love
