@tatswell can you update on your duck and give us info on what type of anesthesia they used to sedate her.. ThanksI am happy to announce my one year old (birthday today!) has had a successful spay surgery.
Why would anyone spay their duck? - For myself, the answer is because she is my pet and I value her as my family. I understand some may not agree.
Tegan had a bad case of egg yolk peritonitis. I thought I caught it early- but she hid her pain well.
My only option was euthanasia or attempted spay.
Her surgery was last Friday, she came home yesterday and is doing quite well- bright, vocal, and peppy.
They removed 2lbs of egg yolk from her stomach! Two, freakin, pounds!
Just wanted to put this out there as I know there is not much regarding spayed ducks- which is of course an incredibly risky surgery.
If anyone has any questions or would like more iinformation feel free to ask.
*Way to go Tegan! Good duck!* (On our way home from the vet yesterday)
know it’s been a while but how did your ducky surgery go. Hope all went well.@tatswell Our little one is due for surgery next Wednesday to remove some foreign objects (mostly a coin and a few other metal objects) I am curious how you prepared Tegan for this surgery. Any insight into how the overall procedure is monitored? Type of Anesthetic that is best? I am trying to do my best to make sure our feathered baby is as safe as possible. Any insights you can share with your success story will be greatly appreciated.
