Just to wonderful!!
 
my duck has been limping from a wound on her foot. She's done this before and then eventually got better with antibiotics and now I'm playing the wait game again. I've been helping her get to her pool and out to the field when it's time to graze and today after the drake got a hold of her good lovin she got to the side of the pool she started to point her tail down with her chest thrusting forward, and then she'd mash her head in the ground or curl it under her in a very uncomfortable looking manner all whilst shivering. So I put her in the water and she layed flat in the water and then again points her tail down and then submerged her head in water to a point that made me nervous that she wouldn't come back up. She's become very docile and just lethargic she's still eating and drinking but something is wrong. Help !

Do you have a dog crate or a separate area, so the drake can not bother her, or anyone else? That way you can keep a close eye on her.. Give her some ACV, (apple cider vinegar) in her water or electrolytes.. She could have a infection from her foot wound. Is it bumble foot ? If so you will need to clean out her foot with Epsom salt warm baths to loosen the debris in her pad.. Keep us posted

You should keep her away from the drake till she makes full recovery or you might not have a healthy duck for very much longer ........

She really needs a place to relax and make a full recovery .....
