Hi all. I have a 10 y/o mallard drake who was fine this morning. However, when I got home from work I immediately knew something was wrong, as he usually meets me quacking at the door and I instead found him laying uncomfortably b/t the bed and wall; not making a sound. His legs are limp. He cannot bear weight on them. Both seem equally affected. I can't imagine he'd break both legs, so now I am fearing for a blood clot. He was listless and I thought I'd lose him sooner than later...... And after about 3 hours now he is perking up, taking some water, but won't eat and cannot use his legs. I have not taken him to the ER vet because they will confiscate him as he is considered "wildlife" (even though he's been a house duck in diapers for 10 years). Any ideas or suggestions?? I'm so worried he's in terrible pain.
