Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

[DavisDucks]

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?

No maam. They just go straight back, leg to the tip of her toe. And her "knees" are almost bending back as well. Very hard to watch.

I may have to do a road trip!

Sounds Great!!!

First time seeing that.

 

[DavisDucks]

Should I bend them for her and wrap her again?? Are we all in the same place that if something was hurting her , she would definately "chirp" loudly or make noise???

 

[Miss Lydia]

Gosh I am not sure since her legs swelled when you did it, what's to say the swelling won't come back?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Is the med your giving Max Metacam? Meloxicam

Exactly!!! I'm sorry I keep bugging you all. I'm kind of hitting rock bottom here. I cringe watching her move at all because it looks so painful. I want so badly to give her life, however that may be, but it looks just like what a hand with severe, debilitating arthritis would look like. I want to find someone, anyone in the state of Georgia or surrounding state.... someone has to know something to try in the veterinarian, wildlife & fisheries, etc... field. Someone that WANTS to try, that wants to make her a success story. I do beleive a little more is going on with the structure of her body as well. She always tends to hang her head to one side, showing a bulge on the opposite side as her "shoulder". She also wont lay on her belly, she always rolls to her side. I have researched and researched & just can't find anything like this.

Yes maam. I thought his foot was broken but vet said No, just prescribed him Metacam. Now, he is a huge (possibly Jumbo) Pekin.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I have no idea how much of the Metacam you could give her since she is so small.

Exactly. That's what I'm afraid of. Hes 11lbs. Shes not even a pound. I'm too scared, really
