Sorry I haven’t been on the blog lately.

Chewy’s always been the picture of health, right? Poor sweet Jester Duck.

I’m sending all good thoughts to ChooChoo and Simon for speedy recoveries.

Sweet Chewy. I hate force feeding but often it makes the difference. Poor Tiff, having to try to force Simon – sounds painful and so frustrating. Thank you for the update on the two sickies (and now one injured human). Best wishes to all of you.

I’m glad to read that you’re using Metacam. Our vet couldn’t find if Metacam could be used on ducks (since it’s mostly used for cats and dogs), I don’t need it right now but if the weather is getting colder and Snuggles leg is getting worse I want to try it (could you please email me sometime what dosage you are using for Chewy?)

I’m sorry to hear about your troubles with Chewy and Simon. I hope you’ll get a good and understandable report about the blood work values. I hope the antibiotics will help him. I read about aspergillosis in the report, is he short of breath? Asper is a nasty condition, I hope it’s something else.

I’ll keep you and your kids in my thoughts and prayers, thanks for trying to force feed Simon, I’m sorry it was such an ordeal. I hope he will start eating on his own again soon, he’s too young to give up. Love from all of us!
