Treating Wry Neck In Crested Duckling *EDITED TITLE*

[Miss Lydia]

Tolerant to an extent, I mentioned ducky diapers and that was quickly vetoed

I had ducky diapers from my duckling, different sizes too, they are packed away for the next time.

When he comes in now he will be 3 in June I just pull out the paper towels and vinegar spray. He usually doesn't stay long since his girls are out side.

This was my trio enjoying bathing/swimming yesterday. You can see Qwackers is improving, she had fun but still doesn't have the hang of swimming

She sure seemed to be enjoying herself though. and boy have they grown. Do you think over stimulation makes her worse? like excitement? I think she is looking great and so are her buds, Indy and Raz right? Have you tried a little more water where they can still stand but could swim under water better ?

I don't think she gets stressed as easily anymore. I pick her up and handle her 4 or 5 times a day. If anything it perks her up and she walks straighter holding her head better. I haven't tried making the water deeper because I was worried about Qwackers balance, I want her to be able to stand if she needs to. I have tried to let just Indie and Raj go for a swim but they have a fit if Qwackers isn't with them. Her posture looks really good this evening so I may make the water deeper tonight. Indie and Raj will enjoy the water being deeper I'm sure, they're little torpedo's in the tub

Just up to the top of her legs so she can still stand or float if she wants to. Glad to hear she was doing good today and stress is less too.

More improvement today, still not getting my hopes up too high.
She loves neck rubs from her adopted daddy

Wanted to share this one too. The top is 10 days ago, the bottom was this morning. Growing like a weed!

I did change our method of treatment from my original post, it makes it easier to keep track of and seems to be working so far.

I am feeding Mazuri Waterfowl Started. Approximately 2 cups of mash (feed with warm water), and constant access to dry each day. She has plain water that is changed twice a day.

3 drops Polyvisol without Iron
3 drops selenium
3 drops Predosolone
all mixed together and administered with eyedropper twice a day (8am & 8pm)

The dose may seem high but I am figuring the amount that stays in the mixing cup and eyedropper. I do not mix the dose in water I place it directly into her beak so that I am sure she is getting as much of the meds as possible.

Aww that is so sweet, and she looks so good and boy has she grown. And spoiled rotten I can tell.

Makes sense. Thanks for the details.
