Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

I believe she has but she needs to give it orally over treats. for them to get full dose.

she could also give it with a syringe by mouth. I think I'd go for that so they'd get the full dose as long as she's comfortable doing it. I wish she had that plastic sheath like I sent you.

That would work get her the link that gives pics on how to give it by mouth

I would hold my girls with a towel wrapped around them to control their wings under my left arm. Take my left hand and open her mouth holding her mouth open with my thumb and index finger and squirt the meds in on the DUCK'S right side

Ok, well.... haven't heard from anyone yet about the specialist at Univ.of Fla., so.... still waiting. Been giving Celeste & Marley lots of Bcomplex & Niacin. I give it to all of them but making sure those 2 specifically get it in their system real good right now. Watching those feet good. I notice Celeste (older) doesnt have it quite as bad, but Marley is definately struggling on those legs some, mainly her right one & her right foot is totally turned inwards. But hopefully little by little, she'll start getting better.
Been feeding Joy like normal. Her appetite isnt a big as it used to be....she used to be able to down more than my teenage son if I let her.... but shes eating, so I'll take that! She is a bit congested tho, more than usual, so hoping the antibiotics help quickly. She did Alot of sitting up today, looking around & talking, and for the 1st time ever, she must've gotten hot so I unwrapped her blanket & she was good to go. I look at that as a good thing because I dont want the blanket to rub her raw. But.... all in all, shes here, shes breathing, and were just going to take it day by day.

Wow! They’re beautiful! I’ve never had Pekin ducks, but I do have 7 Welsh Harlequins, and I’m a huge fan of the breed! They are gorgeous!

Thank you so much! Yes they are indeed I love my welsh girl! Pekins are so cute and pretty dang awesome pets as well, aside from their leg and feet issues from their bigger size I also have a khaki Campbell and a blue Swedish as well

I hope you hear from Fl vet by first of the year. Sure hope the antibiotics kick in soon too. Sounds like maybe having a bit more weight has helped her not be as cold? Bless her heart she’s a trooper and so are you! Hope you see good improvement in Marley an Celeste real soon too. Water therapy will help build strong leg muscles too along with the B complex
