Pekin attacked by bobcat 😭😭😭

Despite the cool snap, we had over 100 BSF grubs, which are her favorite, and she ate a bunch. I'm letting her have about 20 at a time and putting some in her food to try and get other nutrients too. Thankful for another day!

she should heal from the wounds
The biggest thing is infection setting in
Keep doing what you are with cleaning the wounds and antibiotics
Hopefully she beats this
I would also try and give her probiotics
While my duck was fighting fungal infection it also caused her bacterials to elevate causing her to need more antibiotics
I was recommended to give her probiotics once a day as when they are fighting off infection they need the extra help
I found one on Amazon that’s for small animals including birds
My girl loves peas so I mix a small portion of peas and add it in she gobbled it right up
You could use the grubs and add the probiotics on them
I’m in Canada so I had to use Canada Amazon but USA also has it

We cleaned her up with peroxide and Vetericyn and have been cleaning the punctures with Vetericyn 2x a day. The vet said that cats are extremely nasty and only gives her a 20% chance because of a blood infection. There are atleast 6 punctures on her lower jaw and neck bit she's been a trooper! I love probiotics and have been giving her some that we give to our fresh chicks, in addition to the BSF grubs. I'll add that to our first aid kit and will also try peas. Thanks for your positive thoughts and help!

Yes, he's there but has a divider between them. I took him outside for a bit to swim but he kept walking around the run looking for her. It's very inspiring to see how much she means to him.

I have a drake who is like that with his lady.
I have never seen a duck love another duck like he does

What a precious baby
