Injured duck

[Tookie]

its hard to balance on a kayak and when I get close to her she swims away. This is very stressful, I need to talk to our HOA.

Hm. I'm not sure what I'd do. Maybe contact a wildlife rehabilitator place or something?

Hi, I finally had to jump into the lake and get her. Her eyes and head are messed up again. she lost a lot of feathers on her back and under her wings. My concern is a form of hard blister on her back. Not sure what this is, any idea? Thank you

Poor girl! I'm glad you were able to grab her.

For her eye, I think all you can do is try treating it like you did before.

Where is the lump located, can you get a photo that shows the context of the location on her back? It may be a feather cyst, but hopefully others will chime in.

Thank you! I need to find a good home for her, I can't return her to the lake and I can't risk taking her in my backyard again. Any idea?

Call around to some rescues or even place some info on local facebook, craigslist, etc.
