NICE, ok, make sure hes' getting enough Niacin, what kind of vitamins are you giving him right now?no noisesI really hope it's just sore![]()
not much progress, she still limps. the bigger one will occasionally peck at her face though
Are you doing physical therapy with her? put her feet in the palm of your hand and press up gently and see if you can get her to push down also gentle massage might help too you can use a bit of coconut oil and gently massage her leg. If you have a small pan you could also put some warm water in it only to where the legs meet the body and let her wash, as long as you can keep her nice and warm, After she has washed take a soft small towel and wrap her and towel dry gently. then right back under heat lamp.forgot to mention if you put the lil one in water stay right with it the whole time.not much progress, she still limps. the bigger one will occasionally peck at her face though
She may have issues other that when first hatched that you could see, and they are beginning to manifest. Just hard to say but give her all the support and love you can because with ducklings that hatch with problems they may not live long. What all have to been doing for her? And then again she may just pull out of it we can't always know and ducks are strong fighters when it comes to handicaps. I hope you were able to get then some good poultry vitamins it is great support. If she is struggling watch the other ducklings don't pick on her or trample her.okay so I just noticed that her bottom beak over laps her top? like it pushes out more. I know that it was not like this before and she's making a weird sound as well (like a wheezing sound? maybe it's coming from her beak.) her walking hasn't gotten any better either. she's starting to breathe hard too![]()
