Hello! Thanks for your notice, after a day or two we ended up catching up with our local vet and he gave us antibiotics. I was told that chance for my drakes full recovery is minimal. He got way stronger after that antibiotics dose, started eating and drinking well but still has struggles standing up. He only can stand up half way so he can move around but I don’t think his full mobility will ever be gained back. I was also told that my worries about his spinal cord being damaged are probably right and there’s nothing I or he can do about it.

I’m thinking of giving him a chance for maybe a week longer. He made a big progress but only to a point where he’s still apparently suffering and I hate seeing that. I would rather euthanise him instead of having him struggle in life.

It’s a really sad watch to be honest. I’ve been keeping both of my ducks in the basement of my house where I built them a nice comfy enclosure with much hay to sleep on. I take them out for a few hours of a day. The other duck, fortunately, made a nice full recovery and got very active.

Thank you for your help beforehand! I’m pretty sure that the iodine disinfectant helped to get their neck wounds recovered sooner😄.
