I live in South Florida and back in 2017 I rescued a young Muscovy Duck and named her Emily. Someone had tied a rope and tape around her broken leg and I was asked to catch and help her. I removed the makeshift materials and noticed her leg had healed but was deformed. She couldn't be released and no one was able to really help me.
So I ended up taking her inside my place where she has happily lived with me indoors and with my 3 cats for years. She's a houseduck. I had a surgical consultation back in 2017 regarding her leg but the vet just wasn't in to helping her. So now she wears a diaper sometimes and sometimes she is on peepads. She can walk around as I have a special orthopedic shoe for her deformed leg which helps her balance.
I joined BYC many years ago but this is my first post. I have lurked when I had some questions and found great answers.
