My duck keeps going off her legs

[Whiters]

I get that! I just happened to find an Avian and Exotic vet and she gets pet chickens, ducks, and geese all the time...otherwise NO ONE would be able to really help. When I had a chicken with wry neck and asked a different vet what I could do about it, he suggested a HAMMER. (i DONT use that vet anymore)

Oh wow, I'm glad you have found a good one now

I JUST went thru this with my 8 year old goose. She became immobile. I took her to the vet and she had the calcium injections. It was really easy to give her these myself once I was shown WHERE they are administered to. Then she got the same calcium given to her orally. Well after three weeks she was still NOT walking. I took her back to the vet and we both figured what happened is this : lack of calcium = can't walk, Oh I haven't walked in a while and now my legs are asleep so I DON'T WANT TO WALK, well now I have not walked in THREE WEEKS my muscles have gone to mush.... Puddles by this time living in the bathtub on towels with her business end pointed at the drain. I bought her a toy that she could sit on and get some blood flowing in her legs. (I had to sit with her as she was on it but it saved my arms since I WAS holding her up trying to get her to put weight on her legs) I then would put her in a water tub that was deep enough for her to swim and made her swim. She is NOW back to normal. Next Spring she will get a hormone shot to STOP EGG PRODUCTION. I don't want her going thru this again... (her eyes foam up when she is sad)View attachment 1418499

I'm so glad to hear that Puddles is back to full health and well again. Fingers crossed that Darcy to will recover
