New to raising ducks. My Howard, a Pekin, broke a leg yesterday. Age I'm guessing is 3 months-ish. What I read told me to put him down. Is he really in misery? I brought him in the house. Kept him warm. He WAS drinking, and eating. I had to put him in tub today cuz he spilled his water and it mixed in with his poop and the straw, and he was a mess... he sooo enjoyed the water.... even though he couldn't move like he wanted.. ;( right now he's under a heated blanket on my lap.... what can I do? Do I wrap his leg so it don't flop around? Do I leave it? Can I give him pain medication? I have Ibuprofen, Meloxicam, Gabapentin, Tylenol??
Any advice is much appreciated.
