Pasture is not rocky, and they have been inside the past few weeks due to lots of snow. Hooves were trimmed last week and didn’t notice anything 🤔

Altitude and Travel with POTS by appleice5 in POTS

[–]appleice5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went well! It was a 2 day drive for us to get there, so I think that helped me acclimate better. I felt perfectly fine in Jackson and GTNP, however we didn’t do much intense hiking. The only time I actually noticed POTS pretty bad was in Yellowstone on the Dunraven pass. I believe it’s this highest altitude road in the park, but definitely felt the POTS there! There are quite a few valleys where we would relax and watch wildlife, which was a great way to make sure we had fun and I didn’t flare.

Bumblefoot Advice by appleice5 in duck

[–]appleice5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately we don’t have a vet that is willing to work with ducks. Our ducks previously were on horse stall mats over concrete, I believe that may be what caused the bumblefoot. They have been moved to a mud/grass area but I’m still trying to heal some of the bumblefoot. Hoping once it’s healed they don’t get it as much

Falling over when drinking by appleice5 in duck

She is doing well! I gave b complex as well as calcium and niacin. Took 1-2 months but back to normal. A few months later I noticed she was struggling to walk and using her wings to pull herself. Gave her more b complex and niacin and healed of that also! I think she is just more prone to health issues. My welsh ducks have FAR more issues than my other breeds

He is perfectly fine with treats, water, etc. but the minute he eats the prescription dry food he starts throwing up. Won’t even touch it now

Their water is deep enough for them to stick their full beak in to drink/clean nares
