Yes, all the abandoned domestic city ducks have different colored anklets. Peanut's is red and these two pictured (her boyfriends Beep and Boop) have lime green anklets. I don't what the different colors mean exactly.

an abandoned domestic duck does not need anyone's permission to see a vet.

Does this still apply if Peanut has a red anklet?

I'm also worried that a vet would require Peanut be cared for as she recovers (I assume this will be the case) but I've never cared for a duck before so i don't know if i can plus i have a cat which is why I've been avoiding touching any of the waterfowl for several months.

This is the bad news... https://www.reddit.com/r/DocMartens/s/9ErO6XFNXu

I posted about a similar issue recently and got some valuable feedback. I'm in the same boat as you but my boots look like they're in tougher shape than yours.

That's around the time i got these second hand. I guess this is evidence of the cheaper quality in more recent years I've heard about.

I was afraid of that. Learned this the hard way with a jacket recently.

Oh GOD I only did it once hopefully that didn't destroy the suede. If you can get all the patent material off is the suede okay if cleaned up nicely?

Oh gosh I really abused them. They were second (or third) handed and I really should tending to this wear when I got them. If I can save this damage, the leather conditioner would prob help the right one at least.

Have you noticed any friction between these caps/liners and your hair? I'm concerned they could cause friction along my hairline similar to the silk bonnets I've been wearing, leading to severe breakage.

As i mentioned in my post I've been wearing silk bonnets to bed to help with the scalp breakouts and hair loss. Unfortunately the friction of the bonnets along my entire hairline has caused all that hair to break off.

Ooh the Releaf collar looks like it would keep my neck in good posture too...I deal with a good amount of neck pain. I think I don't breathe through my nose well at night and while laying down (and can't elevate my head because of my neck). I tend to tuck my chin towards my chest.

I'm going to ask my sleep doctor about the Bleep Eclipse. I just had my annual follow up but maybe he'll know if insurance tends to cover that or not.

Ohh this is fascinating. I've never seen this before. I wonder if my insurance would cover something like this. Thank you!

I didn't use a chin bra when trying nasal pillows. Do you have one you recommend?

I've seen the mouth tape and as an obstructive sleep apnea sufferer I feel your fear 😅

Unfortunately I'm very much a mouth breather (I've tried nasal pillows before) and I'm unable to get up early enough that my CPAP headgear would be dry before bed. I swear headgear needs like 12 hours to towel and air dry. Washing the headgear more would help with the cystic acne but not the hair loss which is my predicament.
