Talk to me about Swans. NOW with Pictures

[Dr. Todd]

You need to get the swan on water. Mute swans are one of the more aquatic species of swan and they are very prone to foot issues (bumblefoot being a major one) if they are kept off the water. They weren't designed to walk around, hence the bird sitting down a lot.

Thanks Dr. Todd. I have contacted a rehab, and am hoping the will be able to come get it after Christmas. I only took it for a few days, to keep it from being euthanized. It was at an Avian vet, and they didn't want to keep it over the holidays.
