miller30 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hi i am sorry to hear about your duck is there anyway you could put her back with her mates i find when seperated they tend to just give up a sure sign is they cant even be bothered to do their hair (preen) themselves or even put her in a small pen thats near her ducky friends leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yack Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 she is full of stitches in her back and top of one of her legs ... she is still struggling to walk ... have got her in a dog cage in doors now by the window and she has picked up after seeing the rest of them .. just worried that they others are mean to her when she goes back out as there are 4 chickens as well ... gonna put cage out if not raining tomorrow so they can be closer together ... she has been given meds by vet just worried giving to her as they are not licensed for birds ?? thanks for reply and reading ..xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I see what you mean yes its probs not a good idea to put her back in with them if you have chickens aswell they are terrible peckers at wounds dont worry about the meds she will be fine is it baytril you have been given an antibiotic? leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
