Duck with Bumblefoot (Warning Viewer Discretion Is Advised)

[Tevyes Dad]

Ah. Mine don't have any problem getting them down

You have Pekins... If there was a mouse eating a pellet, your ducks could easily eat the mouse.

OMG YESSSSSSSS! I vote we do it.

You guys are awesome, but I have good news!

I GOT A DUCK EGG THIS MORNING!!!

I am so excited, my mom asked if I was gonna incubate it and I said maybe. She said that I should wait til I have a few more so that I can hatch a bunch at a time!

She loves ducklings and sometimes it seems like they short-circuit the logical part of her brain

Flapper hasn't eaten anything in almost 3 days. He drinks water, but hasn't touched his food. I brought his favorite girl duck to see him today, and I thought maybe she would encourage him to eat, but she just ate all of his food, made a huge mess, and Flapper didn't seem to like her company. So, I decided to put him in the run with the other ducks for a few hours and he still wouldn't eat. He would nip at any duck that came near him, and they kept messing with his feathers and wouldn't leave him alone. He bites. He just bit me a few minutes ago and it hurt. I was giving him a warm bath and I had to put my hands in the way so he wouldn't fly out and hurt himself. Is it a normal reaction for him to not eat because his foot is hurt?

Sounds like maybe he is in pain or something else is going on. When Igor was going through the bumble foot did the vet give you any metacam? It is for pain and inflammation. Tube feeding maybe needed @casportpony is the pro here. or @needlessjunk

I used up the pain medicine for Igor, it was only a small bottle. I have read that ducks can be given a smaller dosage of ibuprofen, what do you think about that? He wouldn't let himself starve to death, would he?

OMGOSH, don't search tube feeding on Google images, I can't even explain how horrifying it is! I started crying and I never cry. Mangled birds everywhere! I never knew that big factories were THAT bad!
