This
female duck came in with a very poor prognosis, but instead impressed us all!
She had a few pellets in her chest, from being shot, and had a completely
shattered knee. Even if those injuries seemed bleak, she had been coping very
well in the wild.
She is still with us, resting and gaining weight in the
rehabilitation pool. She should be released in a few days on a nice lake with an
island.
Animals are so resilient! Being able to almost fully use her leg
after such a bad fracture is very impressive. Well done duck!
