Mare's Illegal Cute-ness (Call Duck) Chat Thread!!

Pics
One of my drakes is hunched and waddling/ walking all hunched this evening. He is in a pen with his mate and another pair. Never any issues until i noticed him hunched. Then the other drake and him started fighting. I noticed dried blood on the other guy's leg (that isn't hunched). I separated the pairs for the evening. They don't like me to touch them but the hunched guy just sat there while i picked him up and checked him out. Nothing visibly wrong. Keeping them separated for the night. Any ideas?

Poor feller. I'd start a thread in the Emergency forum.

Not sure what’s happening on your other thread, I would definitely check his vent, or watch for him to poop. Looks kinda constipated. :confused:

He seems to be walking better, still a little hunchy. I checked his vent the other day because I wanted to make sure he didn't have a prolapse. Everything appeared fine. He and the other little guy must have really got into it because as I posted on the other thread, they both had a swollen shut eye the next day. I've been treating the eyes and they are getting better. I still have the two pairs separated for safety and likely will indefinitely. Perhaps he's just sore or strained something when they were bickering. I've given him swimming water so he can soak and relax. Thank you for asking!
