Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

idk, maybe it just feels good? Helps her balance? Has she gained any weight?

@Miss Lydia

Not too much, I dont think. Was going to try to weigh her again this morning. Shes a tough one to weigh. It is official now, tho, that shes not eating as much as she was. Her meals are a little smaller now. And after feeding her this morning, I could hear a very faint little wheeze, congestion, here & there..... so, getting very worried.

I can't imagine anyone could take better care of little Joy than you and your husband. Hopefully, after a little nap, she will have a good appetite and will eat a good lunch.

Sorry I haven’t been around we went out for awhile this morning. Did you let little Joy have a warm bath?

It's totally ok.
Yes maam. I did. Only a few minutes or less. She started trying way too hard to get her face in the water so I had to end it a little early. Didnt want her drinking Epsom salt, or inhaling the water anyway. Shes staying awake most of the day now. So u need to come up with some sort of seat or something she can "sit up", lean up, or "stand" in that wont hurt her feet or legs.

I may have to do a road trip!

 

[Miss Lydia]

What about a plastic drinking cup with a towel wrapped around for support so it doesn’t tip over an tall enough so Joy can’t push her way out.

Ok, so I tool so more pics and a quick video or 2. I never Not help her.... I only didnt 100% assist her so that you can see her leg & body movement. It is so hard to look at her little legs & how they're contorting./spasming (correct spelling?) We took Max to the vet the same day we took Joy, and he got pain meds for his foot. My husband suggested giving her some because he thinks shes in pain. I just wish I knew if she was or not.
Also, since lastnight, her bathroom (poop) has a Very, Very bad smell to it. Could that be antibiotics or something else??

 

[Miss Lydia]

Could be the meds. Have you fed her anything different than you have been doing? It's hard to tell anything is wrong just looking at the pics. He feet won't flatten at now?
