Going to Collect My Fries
MR FLAPPER DUCK SAYS: Dr. Ford was nice enough to apologize for that verbal snafu last week, so I’m heading in to see him again and collect my french fries.
Hopefully we won’t be there very long. He tends to poke me in weird places that are NONE of his business. I’ll quack back at you tomorrow to let you all know how it goes.
XOXOX, Mr Flapper Duck
HUMAN SAYS: I didn’t post this earlier because I didn’t want to share my worries when I didn’t know much. Today Flapper had an endoscopy to see why he continues to have cloaca problems even though he’s already had his phallus removed (last year). Flapper is awake and doing great. The vet didn’t want to keep him under anesthesia any longer but he did call me to say that he thinks Flapper has a granuloma or scar tissue or mass or something at what’s left of the base of his phallus. He didn’t want to try to remove it today since Flapper had already been under anesthesia for awhile, and it’s complicated. So he’ll have to go back, but it does look like the vet knows the issue and that it can be fixed, so my little buddy will feel better again soon.
I’m off to buy him some fries and pick him up from the vet’s office.
FURTHER UPDATE: Flapper got his apology and french fries. But when I spoke with the Doc in person, he said he’d really like to try the procedure on a few… dead ducks (sorry duck lovers)… before trying it on Flapper. I of course would also prefer he practice on ducks who are not my family members. So we are going to wait a bit before Flapper goes back in for an operation.
Flapper is home and napping in his pen after a swim in the pond to get all the human cooties off.

I hope you called ahead to let Dr. Ford’s office know which brand of fries is your favorite.
Definitely let us know how you’re doing, Flap. I hope you are well, for your sake and your mom’s. My thoughts are with you.
I’ve seen many pictures of you, but I think my favorite are the ones where your head is peeking out of a box. They’re just so damn cute. But I guess you knew that. Celebrities tend to fixate on how they appear in the media. No slur against you, buddy–this is just what I’ve heard.
Awww, Flapper… nothing is flapping below you any longer, little boy. I am so sorry. But, rest assure, the ladies will still love you. As a female I can tell you that ladies are more attracted to a male that aren’t threatening or have an ulterior motive. So, suck it in, Flap. We love you and hope you feel better. Having your phallus removed does not make you less of a drake. Love, your forever posse, Pansy.
hi there flapper glad to see you you got some fries also flapper your ads on the side bar say duck decoys last time i checked you’ve never hunted thought you might want to fix that bye flapper
Hi Nick. Thanks for the note. We try to filter out the bad ads daily, but they’re served automatically based on keyword, so it’s a never-ending battle. We’re looking into another ad-serving option very soon as it is quite disturbing to see recipe ads or hunting ads on here. Quacks, Flapper’s human
I’m so glad you’re ok, Flap, and I’m sure that Dr. Ford will fix your down-there stuff in no time.
I agree with Pansy — you’re still sexy and drake-ly to us ladies.
Did your dead ducks arrive safely today? Pringles promises he didnt kill them, he just found some already dead ones for you.
LOL people are going to wonder about that comment, Pringles. Yes I called the veterinarian’s office and one package arrived of deceased ducks that were saved to help vets train. He will use those ducks to practice Flapper’s operation before trying it on him.
