[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 7853930, member: 416"] Aye up, My daughter keeps half a dozen ducks. The males were bullying the females a bit some time back, so we split them up, all happy now. They are inside, a big shed and enclosure with access to a small pool on alternate days. They all have clean drinking water every day and are fed dry pellets with regular treats!!! Peas, sweetcorn etc. They look well and have been until one refused to walk anywhere about a week ago. He went off his food for a few days but is eating again now, always drank water when presented with it. Daughter has him in the veranda and puts him on a paddling pool a few times per day and he just bobs about, might stretch his legs occasionally but doesn’t swim or preen himself, no head ducking under the water like they usually do. Vet took a look, found nothing at all but prescribed ABs, coarse finished now. He looks well in every way but won’t use his legs. He CAN use his legs because he can turn himself on the water, but won’t make any effort. Any ideas? Daughter getting bothered now. ☹️ Cheers, Pete. [/QUOTE]
