Duck can't walk or stand, and doesn't seem to have any feeling in legs

How's the lil' guy doing? I'm glad to hear he's starting to move again, and you're such a good doting mama!

Haha, thanks. He's improving day by day, thankfully. I got scared for awhile because he hadn't had any leg movement. Been spoiling him because he has put up with a lot the last few days. Fingers crossed, but if he improves at the rate he has been, he will be ready to rejoin his buddies in a week at the most. Let's hope he keeps improving and at a more rapid pace.

He has been using his right leg with more strength and fluidity and was able to paddle one-legged (somewhat) around the tub. Left leg is still the same.

I still agree with stopping the charcoal, you're in rehab mode now! Great to hear that he is steadily regaining his strength. You should post some photos if you can! I have 2 in rehab right now that we're returned by other farms.

He is now able to move his left leg a lot and by the evening was able to move the foot part of that leg, too! So far that was the one that wasn't having much progress at all. Also, just got three geese. My Sebbie Gigi has claimed him as hers. He doesn't know what he thinks about her yet, though. Before her he had never seen a goose!

That is great news, your being so understanding with his care I'm sure has brought him this far, look forward to more great updates, and pics too. 3 new geese Congrats!!

Sad news. He had been getting stronger and stronger and I'd say he would have been able to walk in a day or two. Anyway, I went to let him get some sunshine and refresh his food/water/bedding this morning and found him dead. I don't know what happened. He was improving so much, and it was so sudden...

Anyway, thank you all for the help you gave. Thanks to you he improved as much as he did.

So sorry

Very sorry to hear that. Sometimes after our best efforts there isn't unfortunately much we can do in the end. You gave him a great chance, thank you for not giving up on him.
