Injured duckling update

Lets hope with the new med she will start showing improvement soon. Is she real alert and eating good?

Oh yeah. She eats, drinks, and poops. She’s alert, she wants to be active but ends up looking frustrated because she can’t walk. She cleans herself, readjusts, peeps and squawks. Just has no balance making it impossible to walk, swims in circles, and prefers to lay belly up. Also, she gets very wet while swimming, so I’m suspecting wet feather.

At such a young age I am not sure they can get wet feather but if she can't really preen right now she can't spread the oils over her feathers. That will all change once she gets over this.
Happy to hear she is doing all duckling things normally. Hopefully the rest will come.

So the vet just upped the dosage of her meds and said to call with an update later this week. Said there’s not really anything else that can be done. So I guess I’m going to continue the PT and hope for the best. Could really use some prayers and positive thoughts for this little guy.
