So, you know my duckling that wouldn't put much weight on one leg? Well (I feel terrible because I could have prevented this!
) she had another fall, due to poor balance because of her lameness. Now I'm a wreck because I don't know what's wrong. She won't move either leg and seems very ouchy around the tail area. Possibly swollen around there as well, but it's hard to tell because of her feathers and fluffies. For now I just put positioned her comfortably in a rubbermaid box and put food and water directly in front of her. Hopefully we can get her to a bird vet very soon, but I fear the worst. I'm actually most worried about the fact that I don't think she's pooped in about 4 hours!
but temporarily, is there anything safe I can give her to take away some of the pain? I also plan on adding some more Niacin to her diet in case, although I'm still worried about the poo issue. I let her float around in the tub earlier and no poop then either. Help?
