And anyone else I might have missed, sorry...

Update on Io and her eyes...

Io is pleased to let everyone who wished her well that her eyes are completely better now!!
She is back to her happy, easygoing ducky self!

Irrigated her eyes with saline, then Vetericyn rinse, Ciprofloxacin eye drops and Terramycin/Erythromycin ointment treatments 3x per day fixed her up quick... just a bit of advice for anyone that might have an eye issue, plenty of flushes of the eyes is one of the best things you can do... Io was turning her head into the flushes by day 2...


Oh, and we also found her hidden nest! Had to move it due to safety issues, but she was so adorable sitting there... looks like she might have broke her broodiness by moving but felt that was better than leaving her out unprotected...

wow that's great news.so happy for her and you..

Oh how neat. We have a special needs duck that I've been trying to figure out what we can do with her. I thought about making her a house duck but not sure how to keep things clean. Do they make duck diapers lol? How do you keep her in the house? I might give that a try..

They do make duck diapers... in fact, @kukupecpec has an etsy store she sells them out of called Sew Sammi... BYC members get a 10% discount *I think*...

Ask @RubyNala97 about them, she got one recently for her Mavis...

That's great I think I'll get some for sure!! Are their multiple sizes or is it adjustable? Our duckling is little now but I know will grow quickly..
