Hey all. Memorial Day weekend my Swedish started limping and we suspected a broken leg due to the severity of the injury. After some progress she had difficulty walking again and we had her get an x Ray. The result is a broken femur!! Thought people here might be interested in seeing the x Ray. The break is in her femur (ouch!) and is fairly obvious.

The only thing we can do is pain meds and time. Vet said could be up to 12 weeks and may result in some permanent difficulty with the leg.

Here’s the break circled in the x Ray and the poor duck at the vet’s

Thanks for updating surehope she heals well and can get around good being she is with you and not in the wild she should do well they are amazing. Do you have any idea how she did this?

I missed this before -- no, we have NO IDEA what she did to it. It could have been any number of ridiculous duck antics...
