Wounded Duck

How is she doing today?

I ended up taking her to a local avian vet. The vet took an xray and her spine is damaged. She can hardly stand up and doesnt look good so I made the tough decision to euthanize.

Aww I am so sorry to hear this but I know you don't want her to suffer.

Did the vet give any hope of her getting over this injury?

The vet said that she could get better or it could get worse. Even if she did get better she would probably have been crippled to some extent. There was also air in the area next to her spine so there's a good chance her air sacks were damaged.

Place food/water in front of her mouth and dip beak in both. She will begin to eat and drink shortly. After about three days help her stand up and walk around

So sorry for your loss. I lost my first whole flock but one to predators. Mostly to a bobcat. Don't give up.
