Quote: We clip their nails with a pedipaws/file every month about. Usually just when i notice how long they are. Ming mei needs it bad, but i don't want to mess with her feet while she is not feeling well. They will occassionally sit on our bed, when they are diapered of course, but they...

Quote: I thought the same thing! lol, you should see her when we have to hold her down to put her bandages on. She gets so crabby. When she gets upright agina she does this rumbly sounding quack like she's totally offended. lol. (Her face also is wet and almost looks like she was crying, lol)

Here is ming mei in her recovery suite.... aka our nest box modified for the time being... We just recently started putting pupy pads on top of the towels to keep them from getting icky too quickly. There also a pick of how her and victor get to talk through the screen. The last pic is ming...

Ming Mei went back to the vet today, for her check up! The doctor opened her foot up one more time to make sure there wasn't anymore puss plug in there. He didn't see any and gave me instructions to soak her when we got home and keep doing what we've been doing. If it gets worse or doesn't...

i mainly would like to make one since i sew and it'd be retty easy, but mostly because we have to soak her and change her bandage so often, a boot would help keep the bandage on because ming mei is getting increasingly aggevated with the tape on her foot. Today the little punkie figured out how...

It seems our little duck is a sneaky snake... She's figured out that we hide her medicine in a piece of fruit or tomato, and has learned how to pick it out before eating! what a pain!!!! I made her a bowl of fruit today and hid the pill in one piece. I gave vic a bowl too.She ate the opne...

Ming Mei seems happier now and less lethargic. the doctor's gave her a shot of pain meds which i think she fully appreciated. We were so worried. She really is a special duck. She's very well behaved. She even puts her chest down and her butt up when i put her diaper harness on. She gives...

UPDATE- Mingmei went to the vet today and just got home. A different vet who is not really familar with ducks saw her. She cut the wound open and got a puss plug out. She cleaned it up and wrapped it for her. They also gave her a pain medication shot to help her out. We're supposed to...

well ming mei stopped eating today. I've been hiding her antibiotic in a half of a cherry tomato, which she normally goes nuts for. But today she refused to eat it. I called my vet again, and after trying to find someone who can help, we were still at a dead end. My vet is out of town and no...

we tried picking at them a little the other day, but it's just hard and nothing comes out. The vet said he can see her on monday bright and early, and i'm no farmer or poultry person.... I can't trust myself to cut my poor duckie's foot open. I'll probably hurt her more than i could help...

Today she's the same as yesterday. Can't walk, and her behavior's a litle weird. She doesn't want to be picked up or petted like normal. She's having a hard time getting to her food and water because her foot hurts. My vet is going out of town and couldn't see her today, but he gave me a...

after reading that, i'm def calling the vet to schedule that surgery. Her wound is hard as a rock. I don't want her dying or losing her leg. She is such a good duck and i think victor would die without her.

I won't do the surgery myself, but my vet will if he has to. We were going to give her two weeks to see how she does, but she's seemed to got a bit worse... I'm calling the vet tomorrow and see what they think. Hopefully she doesn't need this surgery, it's already gotten quite expensive...

Well, she gets a bath every night in the tub, so it's clean. I'll try soaking her in some epsom salt water tonight. She sleeps in an indoor pen that uses pellets and shavings. Last night i gave her a towel on top of the shavings for extra comfort. Tonight i think i might confine her to a dog...

as an update, ming mei is not walking today. She is hobbling when she has to walk, otherwise she's just sitting. Tonight i'm going to seperate her out of the big pen after her bath. She doesn'yt seem to have much interest in getting up to eat/drink, but she'll eat treats. She seems to not...

the vet thinks it's bumblefoot... He tried to get some puss out, but it was dry and hard. He couldn't get anything out to check it for bacteria. So we did an xray to make sure it wasn't gout or a broken bone that was swollen. It wasn't thankfully. So the prognosis is to clean her wounds...

Our vet was aparently in surgery all day today ad couldn't see us. We're supposed to go tomorrow afternoon. I'll see after a long bath if it will open up.

The past couple days, and esp today, i noticed mingers was standing on one foot alot, which she doesn;t do that often. She i snatched her up and inspected her feet and she's got a huge scab on top of a puss swellling. Her foot looks horrible! I'm not sure how my pampered little princess who...
