Rescued Duck

[LoveMyPeeps]

I run a rescue and a colleague of my hubby's dropped off a mallard with an injured foot the other night. She's a sweet thing.

She made a nest in a bag of shredded paper today.

How is the duck doing now? Is her foot getting better? ETA: duh... looked at the time stamp AFTER I posted, for some reason was thinking the OP had posted yesterday. Sorry! Let us know how she gets along, please!

We've had her a couple of days now and she seems to be improving. She is, at the very least, getting more comfortable in my home. She is eating and drinking well, has made a nest, but walking is still a chore.

I have found that a few physio sessions a day in a warm bathtub works wonders for leg injuries. Of course, my husband is not very pleased whenever this happens.

Yesterday 10:42 pm I have found that a few physio sessions a day in a warm bathtub works wonders for leg injuries

I'm going to try that! (while my husband is at work!!)

Thank you!​

Be sure to wash down the debris before it has a chance to harden (poo) and he will be none the wiser!!! Good Luck

Thanks! I've got to get photos of this...

Here is my little albino mallard having her physio under the watchful eye of Joey. I use the armrests of the tub to place mealworms and make it like a swim-up bar.

That is so cute!

My dogs are really going to get a kick out of this, too.
