I am so sorry! I know that night & next day I cried until I could not cry anymore. Flossy is my Rey. My heart hurts for you... But it was most definitely the right thing to do! She is in heaven with an unlimited amount of mud to play in & ponds as far as you can see!! With lots of critters for her to catch & eat!! She isn't in any pain, she's happy! I promise!I am very glad to hear of her speedy recovery. We recently had the same thing happen at our house while they were free ranging one evening, and the neighbors dog attacked our Silver Appleyard Rey. Unfortunately for us, it was not a wound that could be easily stitched up as we found out when we rushed her to Emergency Vet hospital. The dog had bitten her around her leg and tore a wound near her femoral artery and nerve and they said it was very slim chance she would pull through should they perform surgery if she made it through that even. We had the very hard decision to have to put her down and my husband bless his heart was the one who had to convince me it was the best so she would not suffer. She was my youngest duck baby and if I am honest my favorite, because of how sweet and gorgeous she was. She had a honking yell she would do when she wanted something that I have never heard from any other duck so far that I miss terribly. I miss her so much and now only a week since it happened.....we are still stinging from it. I am very glad you were more fortunate, as I would not wish that feeling on anyone.Rey as Duckling
