Friend for Crippled (eyeless) Pekin duck?

LOL...I suppose I wouldn't want to be wrapped up in elastic bandaging, either. It may not be tight enough. Also, when you wrap it around her body, try to keep it mostly around her torso and away from her legs (though when it's wrapped more snugly, she shouldn't be able to get her foot into it).

This is from a post I did a while back:

"Three times around should do it, but it needs to be snug, so he shouldn't be able to get it off. There's a tutorial here that may be helpful for the wrapping part: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/644239/angel-wing-in-ducks-how-we-wrap-to-mend-it-pictorial.

The instructions say to "apply 3M Vetrap Bandaging Tape at approximately 50% stretch. Applying too tightly may impair circulation. Apply last wrap with no tension; press firmly into place" (http://www.medi-vet.com/mobile/Product.aspx?id=38789).

It's stretchy stuff, so if you think it's too tight, you can always cut it off and re-wrap (I know they can be very uncooperative so this isn't an appealing prospect). I wouldn't let him swim until the wrap comes off, too."

It's not easy, but you can do it. Best of luck!

She is very cooperative it’s just when she thinks I’m done she will walk it til she drops it! I will try the figure eight way and see how that works! She also starts huffing and puffing when I put it on and I know it’s not tight if it can come off but it makes me nervous. Anyways, I will try out this method and thanks for the help!!

You're very welcome! I know what you mean - it has to be snug to do its job, but she can't tell you if it's too snug. Best of luck!!
