Rescued Duckling... newbie

[DwayneNLiz]

Do you have any other animals? I rescued a baby duckling that I intended to release... needless to say that didn't happen lol she imprinted on me as I fell for her haha but she is an only duck with a dog for a sister. She has free range of my house (wearing a diaper of course) and gets along with my dog great. If you have any questions you are more then welcome to message me. I have her indoor living situation set up so its very functional being that I live in a normal suburb neighborhood. She even comes on road trips with us

She's beautiful!!

Duck diapers???

Duck diapers???

Yeah, they poop so much I couldn't imagine her just running around inside without it hahaha every morning/afternoon her and my dog get an hour of just running around outside so she doesn't wear it then or at night when she's sleeping in her nester box I made her. But otherwise it's a sock that's cut up with a maxi pad in the poop to catch/absorb

I seriously need help with the diaper. I actually got it on, but he hopped around so much and fought it. I tried a different way, that might work, but I need a bigger sock cause his tail feathers are growing in. Honestly I don't know if he's a he or a she lol. And yes, I have two cats and a part pug, they run when they see him coming at them. He pokes their nose if they get to close or in Liam's (dog) case he tries to nibble at his toe pads or grab his tail. So, Liam acts like he's in a torture chamber when I try to hold him if speedy is out

I wish my dog wasn't scared, he'll sit beside me so long as speedy is on the other side. But Liam is afraid of EVERYTHING and I really want them to get along because I think they need each other for when I'm working. Liam was awesome when I got my youngest cat, he babied her and made her into his 'puppy' so I know if he's get over the strangeness of speedy it'll be alright. But not sure how to help with that when he looks at me like I'm torturing him by making him stay put while speedy comes over.

I'm trying to figure out how how old he is... maybe 3 to 4 weeks? And I've had him for 2...

Im sure your dog will come around eventually lol at first my dog wanted nothing to do with my duck lol but now the duck takes food right out of her dog bowl. She definitely gets annoyed by the duck, the duck loves to just randomly walk up and bite her ears
