Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

Listen all you can do is try an work with her. Don’t feel like your failing you are doing everything you can. She may just have to have her walker for her life time but that doesn’t mean you give up an try all you know to do. For that vet to give you such a grim outlook for her I think y’all are doing great and she is eating good which to me is a very good sign she isn’t giving up. I know your totally devoted to her and her you but maybe you need to give her some time out too where you know she is safe and you can have some time for you?

Trying to wrap her and I'm not sure her left leg will bend anymore. Looks too swollen maybe? Leg on bottom in 1st pic.
Also, I'm rubbing oil on her legs everyday. They're dry from her "blankets"
I dont know what to do now

 

[DavisDucks]

Ok, she's wrapped, loosely but enough, and I just put her to bed. Tried to tire her out as much as possible with eating, playtime with me and Callie.....hopefully she can get some rest.

It does look like it maybe swollen but your the only one who knows for sure. Massage is good that can help keep her muscles relaxed.

Well, I have her gently wrapped and in bed. Once again, tho, not going to sleep. She always went right to sleep. Should I unwrap her? I dont want to cause her leg More problems

 

[Miss Lydia]

I am not sure try to see if unwrapping makes a difference in her as far as resting. Let’s see if we can get @casportpony here for her advise on what’s best.

Gosh it's hard to know what's for the best.
There is something very wrong with those legs.
And possibly something else wrong since she isn't growing.
You've already gone above and beyond what most would have done to give her the best chance. I think if it were me at this point I would just do whatever seems to make her the most comfortable
She sure is a fighter.

Yes, exactly. That's the thing, if I thought she was in pain or just sickly & .miserable, this wouldnt be so tough..... but of shes trying & wants to live, then I sure as heck will try. I just am wishing I lived down the road from a few of you at this moment in time.
I want to wrap her legs to help her, but that one looks a little worse then it did last night, ya know?! So..... and on top of that, now in the walker & us walking her, she now can only drag her legs behind her. Her feet dont even "stand" on the floor anymore. I dont know. I dont know. I dont know

 

[Miss Lydia]

If your going to keep the wrap off I’d put the shoes back an see how she does in them especially in the walker. Since you took the wrap off is she resting better?

They do look pretty swollen in those pictures.
