Duck Boots

This is not my duck but it's boots are. Something happened in the pond and my large male Muscovy leg was bleeding and he was limping badly the other day. I am not sure what caused this probably a large turtle. So I chased him into the corner of the kennel and grabbed all 25 pounds of him so we could clean his leg and put the boot on him. He was not happy and flapped his huge wings taking flight a few times and he has claws. But they make these neoprene duck shoes that are perfect for ducks. His claws stick out of the corners and he is very happy and healing up. I will have to remove the boot in a few days. But my big male is happy to be going after the females again. It has not slowed him down in the least. I have a couple pairs of these on hand. They float so if I miss one it eventually washes down stream into our pasture for me to find.

 

Wormulon

This big 14 lb cat of mine threw up today. It was part of a mouse and a pile of worms. Yay. Luckily. I had on hand single dose feline de-wormer from the vet. Fostering kittens I always have supplies on hand. I had the de-wormer for our barn cat who passed away. One of the joys of having indoor/outdoor cats they bring home all kinds of things. 

Now is the time for fawns in the Ozarks. We had our first fawn brought by its mom to our farm. And more are on the way. We have seen several pregnant does on our property. It is going to be a good year.

This is the first time we have seen the fawns. It is nice to see.
