We had to say goodbye to Cheese on Friday
As many of you know, Pekin ducks are usually bred for meat and have a lot of issues. Cheese had a lot of neurological issues and I would have to carry her to the coop, and back inside at night. Friday morning she jumped out of my hands and broke her tibia.. I took her to an bird and exotic animal vet.. And the best thing I decided was putting her down to not suffer anymore. The procedure/ surgery and antibiotics that the vet told me would help her weren’t a 100% garentee that she would be better. So I put her down and cried like a baby.. I hurried her in my backyard and will miss her♥

Oh you must feel devastated. So hard to to lose such a special duck. But it seems that you provided her a pretty wonderful life.

She is still with us and still sassy. She has a chance

Three hour later report is the same. I think she is past the point of giving up so we have her in a covered dog crate with food and water. .i would give her odds of 60/40 making it now

Thank you to everyone for their prayers. We will see how this turns out tomorrow. I an
m wondering if she makes it through the night what we need to do to treat against infection
