My ducks were attacked - one severely injured

[Miss Lydia]

That is such a good update. And he could not have done so well with out your help caring for his injuries and making sure he got just what he needed.
I am very happy for you both.

I tried reintroducing Griffin to his siblings but it didn’t go well so for now I’ll just let him stay with Speck, Chickpea and Cherry Tomato. Those 4 get along great.

A couple of Griffin’s brothers and sisters started fighting with him and he still has a scab on top of his head so I don’t want him to get set back at all. When I put him back with Speck & friends they were happy to see him

Griffin update!

Overall he’s doing amazing He loves treats and swimming and is a friendly and sweet boy. He is a cinnamon roll

The scab on top of his head finally came off and he’s growing new feathers there. It looks great. The scab on the tip of his bull just came off too, and it’s still healing but looks good. I can see that their is a slight shortening of his bill on one side.

His eyes are good - but I think he may have slight vision impairment. When I give him treats he often nibbles on the underside of my hand first, and then works his way up to the treats. Or maybe that’s just his weird personality

The only thing that’s a bit concerning is that his breathing is still louder than normal. Not extreme, but noticeable. He did have a lot of blood in his nostrils the first day, so I suspect he has some damage to his airway or something. Hopefully that won’t cause him any issues in the future.

He does sometimes seem a bit subdued. I don’t know if that’s just his personality or if he has duck PTSD.

But overall I am very happy with the outcome for my sweet Griffin!

I’m glad he’s improving he’s a pretty duck. I just got home from a 2 week vacation in Hawaii saw mongoose crossing the road sometimes.

Griffen is a handsome boy. So good to hear and see how well he has healed.
Have you seen the mongoose?

It’s frustrating because I saw another one but I haven’t been able to trap it. I don’t know if it’s scared of my dogs or just too smart.
