Hi everyone , I recently talked about my rescue duckling, I had a suspicion that my 7 week old ducklings left wing was being affected by angel wing, I took it a vet yesterday. I’m not sure that it has been handled properly, but we now have a “splint” on for lack of a better term.
His wing isn’t contoured toward his body though, and that concerns me. I also need to figure out how to adjust his feed to lower the protein while still getting proper nutrients for his growing 7 week body. I have been feeding Mana Pro duckling crumble that said would be good through 20 weeks of age. I also feed him veggies such as cilantro, cucumbers, strawberry, grapes, grated carrots. I’m not sure about adding grit. When and how much. Any good advice on splitting and nutrition corrections would be appropriated. The vet said he looks great over all besides the wing. I wrote another post because while at the emergency vet yesterday I was very afraid because they wanted to do sedation, but I didn’t feel like as a whole this emergency practitioner new very much about duck and their care. The Avery emergency vet wasn’t in the office when I contacted them yesterday. I am just trying to do the best I can for him. He has been my life for seven and I am his mother. Thanks everyone from one very worried and exhausted mother.
