Duck with Bumblefoot (Warning Viewer Discretion Is Advised)

[casportpony]

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!

Tube feeding sick ones is not like that.

These are using a crop needle, not a plastic tube.




This one uses a tube like I use

Quote: I have not found any veterinary source that says ibuprofen can be given to ducks, only posts here on BYC that say it can be, so until I see a proper source, I say it should *not* be given to ducks.

The images I saw, those people don't even deserve to live...

Quote: Put those images out of your mind... Tube feeding sick birds is nothing like that. In fact, some of mine will start begging for the tube after they get used to it.

I know, it's just... I can't believe it.

Ok, how often should I feed him? I think he's not eating because he's in a lot of pain, what should I give him?
