Thanks guys. He is a cutie. He was really mean at first when I first got him and I was planning on getting rid of him but it’s been over a few months now and he’s really grown on me. He still puts his head down and chases after me but it’s cute now...nothing like before. So he’s officially my...
So I just went out to check on them and the bean fell off! I read somewhere (I can’t find it again) that the bean is like a fingernail and can shed. So maybe that’s what happened. It looks reddish brown now but hopefully will look normal over time. I’ll keep an eye on him and get another pic now.
Ok, great, thanks guys. Like I said I’ve never seen this with any of my other ducks and didn’t find anything doing a google search. I will add some acv to the water. Thanks again.
Ok, great! Wanted to make sure before posting. So I noticed yesterday that the “bean” on his bill does not look normal. It is sticking out a little and looks almost bruised around the edges or like there’s dried blood there or something. I do not know much about this part of the bill. And I’ve...
Quick question...something is wrong with one of my ducks bills (the dad to the babies). Does anyone mind if I post a pic here for advice? If so that’s fine, I’ll make a thread. I just know there’s good duck people here! Lol.
Thanks for asking! He is doing great!! The infection in the wing is all healed up and the angel wing is totally gone! Plus, he was the runt for a long time (half the size of his hatch mates so he was super easy to pick out) now he’s caught up to them and I have a hard time picking him out. But...
No, not at all. Your info was good. I knew you had to wrap angel wing and when I saw this guy starting with it I watched several videos, not just yours. All were helpful. I left it on for about 30 hours. And the angel wing is better. I didn’t mean to hyjack your thread but it was great that...
Just another update. The little guy is doing much, much better. It’s about 75% better. The scab is very small now and the shoulder area (that was the large, seeping scabby area) looks normal! Amazing how resilient they are. It must have been a nasty infection and the antibiotics are doing the...
Thank you, I appreciate it. Honestly, I’m good with animals. I love animals. And my only goal to to have or help ANY animal be healthy & happy. So it’s crushing to screw up. I almost didn’t want to post because I was embarrassed by what I did. But I figured if I could do it then someone could...
Ok, thank you guys for the info. No Blu Kote, then. That’s a very good point about not being able to see the wing under the purple. I will keep them inside. (I didn’t think of the flies either). They get very stressed when separated so I’ll keep all of them in and let them use the bathtub a lot...
Guys, I feel so horrible. I can’t stop crying. I must have wrapped his wing to tight and it’s all swollen and infected. It looks horrible!! I can’t believe I did this!!! I unwrapped it and started an antibiotic. Any other suggestions? This is a nightmare. I’m so upset with myself. He’s swimming...
My duckling was the runt. At one point I wasn’t sure if he would make it. But with a little tlc he pulled through with flying colors. Then yesterday I noticed the angel wing starting. I watched the video several times but his wing is soooo tiny compared to all the other videos and pictures I...
