Limping Female Pekin Duck - what should I do to heal her?

[CoriM]

Thanks, that's encouraging to hear. I will try to keep her walking at a minimum. I saw in your previous comments that we can attach video here by uploading to YouTube. I've been trying to figure out how to attach a video of Puddles walking with her hobbles and now I know how to do it. Here it is:

That is precious. You did such a good job.

 

[CoriM]

Thank you! I could watch that video ten times a day - I think it's very sweet. She was working so hard! I hope your gander is better soon!

 

[Miss Lydia]

Puddles too. They can be so clumsy. My Muscovy drake and gander got into a fight. the gander lost.

 

[CoriM]

Oh wow, what kind of geese do you have? I would love to have a couple of geese, but the ducks so far are non-stop medical issues - I just can't take it on!

I have an Embden gander and a Toulouse female.

 

[CoriM]

Are they much work compared to ducks? What about medical issues? They do have a very long lifespan!

I find them easier to care for ducks since they rarely have medical problems, besides keeping them out of trouble and from fighting they are pretty easy to care for.
