Daisy Duckie Hurt Bad

[Evolvingspirit]

I raised Daisy, a Pekin duck, since she was a few days old. She is probably about 5 years old. She grew with lack of niacin and her right leg pointed inwards. She always limped. I carried her around to the swimming pool every day and sat with her about 20 minutes a day. We are bonded and she loves my messages everyday. She was a catalyst for teaching me to get closer to my inner awareness.

The other day after 15 minutes of massage we were both so relaxed. All of a sudden when I put her down, she freaked out, was screaming like she was hurt, and ran away in pain.This made her injuries worse. Today Daisy didn't like it when I moved her from my lap. My instinct told me to take her in my home, and put her in my bathtub. I fed her sardines (niacin), and a bit of chicken food. She ate a bit of sardines, and now she is quiet.
I'm thinking a sling may take the pressure off her legs. I'm a mechanical klutz and nervous.
A response is so very much appreciated.

Blessings,
Stewart

Yes a sling will help her if she’s in pain trying to get around or not walking at all anymore. @ruthhope has made them for her ducks . I’m sorry poor Daisy is suffering. I have a female pekin who is seven years old and also has a foot turned in. She came to me as a rescue and probably also had niacin in deficiency. She’s still getting around, but I am watching carefully for There may come a day soon where she needs more help.

And Yeah, so I am trying to figure out how to build a sling too. I found this video. I want to make something like this.
