Limping duck (injury or infection)

I would give her some B vitamins. Anytime any of my ducks limp they get dosed for the week with B vitamins.

Sounds good, a dose of b complex and peas it is.

I agree mine come up limping every once in a while and I use the liquid b complex.

Today I've let Boots stay in with Henry, I figure they're probably happier to be miserable together than separated, otherwise Boots just spends her time yelling for Henry and upsetting the guineas. Henry got her B complex and peas again today, no warm limbs, no swelling, she's not limping in the cage but I saw how that went yesterday so she's on cage rest for a couple more days before I let her take another go at normal duck life.

Not related to Boots and Henry, just came up COVID positive. Feel like a truck hit me, farm chores will be done with all the butt dragging I can muster.

Back to school is unfortunately back to community germs. The kids gave me COVID for my birthday last year, too.

Hope you feel better soon! I *think* I got it once, from my daughter, but while she was knocked out and in pain for a week, I barely got sniffles and cough.

Thank you Wind!

Always miss Canada when I get sick, lol. I'm a transplant in the U.S, grew up outside the GTA and the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

My teenaged sons are like you in that respect, the sniffles for a day or two and away they go. I'm hoping since this is atleast round 2, maybe it won't be a week out of commission this time.

I'm originally from the Ottawa area, and moved out to the middle of nowhere in the Lanark Highlands area on my daughter's property last year. I do not miss the city one bit!

100% with you there, you couldn't pay me to go back to all that urban sprawl.

Enjoy the good life!
