So the issue might be a motor nerve being compressed in the pelvis

I wonder if there’s any off chance she could be eggbound even though she’s 9 and it’s winter .
I’ll give her some cal gluconate in the morning it can’t hurt right?

I read somewhere quite recently that female ducks can get temporary nerve compression from something to do with their reproductive tracts. It wasn't being egg bound. I didn't take full notice as mine are all drakes! I'll see if I can find it.

OK I read it on BYC!! Obturator paralysis

Very interesting. It says temporarily like a few hours though. So that can’t be what Teeny has, but it’s sure good to know about that.

Finally got her to calm down in the tub tote- by covering it with a towel . She floated for a whole hour without a panic attack .
