    Injured duckling

    My son fell on one of our 3 week old ducklings and broke its upper leg. I have splinted it and stabilized that part of the leg. After 2 days it still looks like it doesn't have any movement in its foot. Will this be something it never regains or will it just take time?

    Perosis: Opposite (unslipped) leg giving out

    Hi everyone!! I've recently hit a little bit of a wall here and would really like some advice. I have a 5/6 week old mallard, Moe, that has perosis/slipped tendon in her left leg.

I separated her into a pen, and monitored her for a week. I started doing water therapy with her, but it...

    My juvenile khaki campbell fell while running away from me and now she can't stand up correctly

    This happened a few minutes ago, after letting them swim for a while it seemed too cold so I tried taking them back to the crate where I keep them. She suddenly started running and tripped, thankfully the floor didn't touch the neck but she fell on one of her paws. There's no blood, twists or...

One leg works fine but the other sticks straight out behind it. It can’t stand. It scoots around and chirps ☹️ I thought placing it in water...
