Roberta Update
Gulliver watches over Roberta
We want to thank all of Berty's Leg Up
Supporters! Your donations are really helping us
cover her weekly vet costs. Thank you also to Donna and the
Garey family for helping to supply her with some much-needed medications.
Berty is walking a little better these days, but we still
have a long way to go in getting the staph infection out of her
inflamed leg. She is still getting her weekly Adequan
injections in addition to taking her daily medications. To protect the flora of her intestines while on Clindamycin, Berty also gets 1 ml of live
culture yogurt with L. acidophilus twice a day.
Berty is scheduled for an x-ray Monday
morning and surgery will be scheduled within the week. Our
new waterfowl vet Dr. Otka at All Friends Animal Hospital
is consulting with Dr. Speers, DVM to ensure that all
options are being thoroughly explored.
Gulliver & Roberta
in a lover's chat
Since coming to our sanctuary Berty
and Gulliver have become quite the pair and boy does she
TALK when he comes around! Berty has many friends and spends
her days swimming on our large, enclosed pond and her nights
in a thick bed of hay in the barn.
Thank you again to all of her Leg Up
Supporters and we will continue to keep you posted on her
progress!
Coccidea
Coccidia are
one-celled protozoa that infect the lining cells
of the intestine of infected ducks. Some
symptoms include bloody diarrhea and weight
loss. Your vet can confirm whether or not they
are present by testing a stool sample and
looking for their eggs. If the test shows
positive, your vet will most likely prescribe Albon, to your entire
flock.
Gape Worm (Syngamus trachea)
If you see your
duck continually opening its bill and gasping,
like it’s trying to get something out of its
throat, this could be gape worm, which is also a
roundworm.
Don’t take this
as a sign of poor hygiene if it comes up.
Ducks and geese
usually get gape worms from eating earthworms;
geese seem to be more vulnerable to them.
The presence of
gapeworm can be confirmed via fecal exam, so
bring a sample to your vet if you suspect their
presence. If positive, your vet will likely
prescribe a one-time treatment of Ivermectin®
solution, which they will prepare for you. Be
sure to treat all of your flock members.
Livingston Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy
We would like to
thank Michele for the personal tour of the
Conservancy this month. It was great to see you
and Ian again and we really enjoyed our visit
and your company.
Thank you also for your
continued guidance with our own ducks and geese,
and for your rapid response through your
Webbed Foot Wildlife. Parker the
little wood duck found in the road and Turkey
Lurkey who lost his momma and decided our
sanctuary was a good place to come and ask for
help are both alive and well thanks to you!
