Hi all,
My duck, Bubby is now six years old going on seven. He's a white pekin duck.
If you click here you can see that Bubby had been attacked by a fox a few years ago.
The fox bites had left a nasty mark in both of Bubby's legs, but with a lot of treatment and care he was back to walking and running etc.
He seemed okay for a while although we did notice that his waddle had increased a little and he was struggling with putting weight on his legs. We figured this was normal after the attack so we continued to take care of him and make sure there wasn't anything in the backyard for him to trip over.
Recently, he has been having a lot of trouble especially with winter coming up. Sometimes he falls flat on the floor and just gives up and other times he sits with his leg out (maybe more comfortable?)
He's been having a bit of trouble so I'd like to know if there's anything I can do to help him.
Thanks
