Hi everyone... newbie here,
So please bear with me. I can post more info if needed but here goes. My 11-year-old Mallard, Ricky Bobby, is limping very bad. I took him to the vet and he said it’s arthritis. He weighs the same has last year and seems to be in good health. He has no bumble foot. All his poops are green and watery, not consistently thick as they usually were. The doctor gave me some probiotics to give him. He also gave him a steroid shot which didn’t do anything, in my opinion. He eats his regular duck food and peas n wormies n treats. He did fracture that leg about six years ago. But he did recover from it. And now he has a smell on his body. Any advice? Does anybody think he’s passing away slowly? All his feathers look good except for his blue/green feathers look ragged. Eyes r clear. Still lovable... help!
