Problem with a Pekin Duck, HELP!

[sandiwiles]

We hatched 2 ducks ourselves and one of them, not sure if male or female yet, they are about 2 months or so old. One of them stopped standing on feet and just dragging it's bottom around. It uses its feet to walk, but not standing and walking. Is something wrong with its feet or back? We are stumped and so are the other doctors. Someone recommended giving an antibiotic just in case it was ill. but it is eating fine and drinking fine and loves to play in their little kid die pool, But I am not sure if it is dying or not. Doesn't seem to be getting better, but doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Please HELP!

Sandiwiles -

I have noticed there have been several threads on limping ducks, or ducks that can't walk. You might want to scroll down a bit and look at more of the threads under ducks, maybe you will find some helpful information. I know there is an "emergency" title too. That would probably be a good place to look. It seems like several people have been talking about it though.

I have no experience so can't help more than this, I hope you find someone who can. Good Luck!!!
