Duck with injured foot/ankle

We couldn't ask for a better update. I hope you keep seeing improvement.

Just thought I’d update this post as when searching for help with this, the outcome was often missing.

So since August, Belinda has gone from strength to strength. It has taken a while, and I was making sure she ate plenty by hand feeding her for a few weeks as she seemed to have trouble bending down for food.
She didn’t forage for quite some time and just sat whilst the rest mooched in the grass. But now she is foraging well.
She has now started to run and flap well again. A month ago she would do a couple of flaps and fall over, but now she goes for ages.

So all in all, she is doing well and patience paid off, as I really thought she was going to have to be euthanised.

Next mating season I think I will not be putting any boys in with the girls as it has just caused too much grief this year! But for now, they are all living happily together!
