Can you take the paper towels out and use just a normal towel instead? They need traction, and paper towels can be slippery.

Aww how sweet that’s great since straight is best!

Thank you!

Yes i'll do that! I read the articles and they said that as well. Thank you for telling me!

Since she’s so tiny I think I’d start out using a bandaid.

Thank you! I really want her to be healthy and happy until my parents and i decide what we can do. They want me to focus on getting her better first and then worry about whether we should keep her or find someone for her to go to. But i couldn't help not worrying about it so i researched a lot so i do know that if we end up keeping her, she'll need at least 1 if not more duck friends

I think your doing great too. First time duck mama can be stressful!

Thank you! It can be at times but i'm just glad i was able to save her life
And a quick question but howblong does it take for her to get used to the hobble? She's running around and falling over. And did i do it correctly?

If her legs are positioned where they should be then yes you did it right. It looks good. As for walking it will takes some getting use to but she will so don’t give up.
