    anyone know anything bout ducks? Have a 3 month old big white duck that i think may have hurt her leg this morn. I keep finding her stuck on her back.:(
    when i lift her up and put her on her feet she tries to walk but tumbles over again. her eye looks gungy, but dunno if this is related or if the hens or other ducks are picking on her(shes the biggest of all of them !). she is still eating a bit if i bring it to her but not much

    Cant feel anything broken or swelled but im no vet.
    Can anyone suggest anything, would a vet laugh me out of it??

    any help for her would be greatly appreciated

    thanks

    Go to a vet and find out what is wrong.

    Vets are usually very tolerant of you if you DO bring in the sort of animal that most people wouldn't (e.g. chickens). You won't get laughed out of it.
