Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

When i treated my friends duck for the hawk attack, I confined it to a little dog carrier to where it could only stand and turn with enough room for food and water. Electrolytes in the water, scrambled eggs and layer mash, that cream on the wounds and kept it warm. it looked paralyzed and very weak on one side-wing included. it didnt want to eat or move. so once we saw the wounds were closed and the other ducks wouldn't peck at it, we decided to reintroduce it to its friends... Poor thing was depressed,!!! Still had a slight wobble but once it got back with its friends (about 5 days of rest) it was like a new duck! I hope you can fix her Banty

Thanks. I think she misses her buds too, and wants to go back... There is no "back," poor thing

Banty I hope she makes it through.

Speaking of ducks, I have a question of what breed lays the best? I want my own source of eggs to paint and I love how colorful the eggs can be and they are less chalky then the goose eggs I have used.

Banti, animals deal with pain much better than people... not saying they don't feel it, but they have a different way of dealing with it than we do... and no, you don't want her to try and jump up and run around yet...

The swelling is more of concern... but as long as it doesn't interfere with her breathing or cause any other issues, just monitor it... trauma, especially very damaging trauma, takes time to recover from... take it slow and easy with her and just be patient... you're doing your best and very well...

Alot of people will tell you Indian runners or khaki campbells are the best which is not a lie but I've had a fair amount of luck with my pekins, 6 of them out laid 22 hens
