2 broken legs update

[Lil Drake40]

If a vet isn’t an option then give her a couple more weeks I’d also add some good poultry vitamins to her feeding maybe some extra calcium while she is healing Calcium citrate or gluconate are 2 good ones

The original thread was started June 30. Is that when you splinted them? And which bones were broken?

Honestly it is a tractor supply duck and I am not taking her to an orthopedic surgeon. Which was offered by the local vet school

Vet school wouldn’t see her? You’d think they’d jump at the chance to treat her

Those are hard to heal. If she were mine I would tape her legs to her body for two weeks. No swimming, no nothing for two weeks.

Can you post close up pictures of her right leg?

Great idea K

It's not straight, but it definitely needs to be pulled underneath her. I am thinking slinging the one leg under her body

I will do that tonight. I splinted them about 30min after the injury originally occurred.
I have a video I am trying to post, its 14 seconds but keeps telling me it is too large
