He looks so cute with that blue cast! I hope he heals up quickly and easily.

Well it is a very spring color for the cast I hope all is well and let your vet know that they are a true animal lover when they do something from the heart , with the skill and talent that they have that others dont . I just bought three day old pekin ducklings today. so from one pekin fan to another. Fast healing

brought ducky back to the vet today... and his leg is healing. its not perfect but better than it was... the only problem the doc wants the ducky in the bathtub for the entire day and to only take him out at night.... the duckling is 5-6 weeks old. is that ok for it? this vet is an avian vet and doesnt really handle ducks... will the duckling drown? the good foot is firmly on the ground and it hops around the tub... is that ok ? and wont he get tired?! all suggestions are welcome

If your vet is not already on this list, please post his information on this thread.

Im guessing the vet wants to keep as much weight off the leg as possible. Good luck little duckie!!

i knew something was wrong today. i put him in the tub like i usually do... within 45 min he passed. im at a loss right now. i am sobbing over a duckling.. theres something wrong with that. i can't belive it. my little swagger is gone....
