Bad leg problems

[happy duck]

How is he doing today?

I think you're okay.

Well well... newest problem. Tried pulling the liquid Advil on some oats this morning. He won't eat it. Smells the grape medicine right away. Any ideas on how to give? I can only think of trying to put some in a bowl of water next time...

I would try giving it orally again, but withhold water for 30 minutes after giving it.

I will give it a shot tonight. Thank you!

If you have someone to hold him that way you have two hands free, you’d have a better chance of opening his bill and putting the Advil down the right hole.

I do! My fiancé was holding him for me last night. What is the direction of the hole I'm shooting for then? I'm not familiar with my inner duck anatomy quite yet

If your looking face to face it’s on the left side @casportpony has apic she can show you I am on my phone so can’t bring it up.

This should be fun he hardly let me squeeze it up under the side of his bill last night but the pic would def help @casportpony if you've got it!
