Also vet wrap is the same as horse leg wrap. If you go to the equine section in the store sometimes it's cheaper if you buy it as leg wrap.

You can also buy a people version, sports wrap. Even cheaper then animal versions. LOL

I will definitely look into these wraps! There are just sooo many to choose from!!!

If you want to read about Bentley and how they fixed his angel wing I think you'll find his story likeable.

And all the pretty colors. Purposely a white duck sounds nice.

Advice!!!!!!
I put the wrap on her but 30 minutes later she found a way to take it off!!! I can’t find a way to keep it on her! She will fall over and start wiggling out of it or she will stretch then walk til it starts falling off! Is there any other way to keep it on her? Also, it keeps touching her leg so she kind of trips but I’m afraid that she might not be able to breathe well if I tighten it

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!
