Daphne’s sick

[CrystaBub]

Such a good girl that Daphne! Sounds like it went well - and good to know you have a Vet that can provide good follow up!

Aww! Go Daphne! My little Muscovy bubba, Cuddles, wagged his tail and bobbed his head at the pic of her! Hopefully she'll be okay, you get really attached to the little rascalls after a while

Thank you all very much. I’m still very much worried about Daphne. She was bright at the vet, but less so before and after. I’ve made her pen extra cozy for the night. She didn’t want to be separated from the others. I think I’ll know by the morning if she’s going to make it or not. She is straining off and on as though she wants to pass an egg, but the vet didn’t feel anything abnormal down there. I still have a bad feeling. Please pray for her or send vibes or just some positive thoughts. Thank you all again.

Talked to Limpy's nurse Katharina this afternoon

She sends good vibes to Daphne. Katharina thinks it's just a bad cold. She recommends keeping Daphne warm, lots of mealworms and tomato-wedges. Plus a warm bath in the morning to relax.
Get well soon Daphne!

Prayers for Daphne being sent now!

I’ll do a more detailed check in a bit once the sun comes up, but Daphne is alive this morning and is at least showing some interest in eating. I was absolutely terrified to go look, and at first the Muscovies were the only ones to come out and I thought she had died overnight. But soon enough, I heard her little quiet “just waking up” quacks and she waddled out from one of the cozy nests I fluffed up last night. You’re prayers and positive thoughts are working so far, so thank you. I’ll update more in a little while.
