spaying surgery success story!

[jendarwin]

Hello everyone,
This is a success story of spaying my 1 1/2 year old pekin duck. She had an egg rupture inside and saw similar symptoms of egg yolk parantisis. We had to act fast and decided to go with the surgery. She was hospitalised and was kept on observation for 48 hours (basically hydrating her and force feeding her as she wouldn’t eat). It was a 3 1/2 hour surgery. Immediately after surgery she drank water and walked. She was at the vet for another 24 hour and was still force fed. We picked her up and she was too weak and tired. Vets had advised us to keep her away from other ducks for 3 weeks. To force feed her and give her pain killers for 4 days and antibiotics for a week. It’s been four days since the surgery. She is eating by herself. Gotten naughtier and is recovering well. We can’t be any happier. She is such a fighter. So bold, brave and beautiful. Our sweetheart kae
To all duck owners who are worried of your ducks health.. stay strong and positive. I prayed a lot and took a lot of positivity from this group.

Glad to hear you duck is recovering. I was not aware a spaying could be done on a "bird"

Good info to know. Lots of places won't do these procedures.

Glad she is healing well.

Update !!!!

It’s been more than 3 weeks since her surgery and she’s doing so well. Today was her vet check. Her vet was happy she’s gaining back her weight (she started to lose weight drastically when the egg ruptured inside her). She was injected an implant shot today. She will start going out in the garden after a weeks time. Her friends can’t wait to see her

Did you take your baby to an avian vet? Great news she is doing well.

Sorry.. wasn’t an avian vet. Just checked. She’s a general vet who takes care of all animals

Hi, I know this is older, but I’m wondering if you could answer some questions about the type of surgery your little girl had? I have a duck with some reproductive issues. The implant isn’t lasting long with her, so I was hoping spaying would be an option. Most vets I speak with will not do anything but remove the ovaduct in emergency situations, and say that can still cause internal laying. I’ve been told it’s impossible to remove the Entire ovary safely, but I’m curious if that is what was done in the case of your duck? Any insight would help. I hope all is well!
