Duckling Back in ICU

The brave little duckling released on Friday has been struggling and the injured leg has worsened.
I had hoped being back with the family it would have improved, the opposite has happened because of too much activity on a leg that is still injured.
I had no choice but to catch it this evening and bring it home for further ICU treatment. I will take it to the Vet tomorrow and see what else can be done.
Earlier this evening I watched with another Trust member as it attempted to climb up the wire mesh , only to fall between and struggle to get free - twice ! The strain on the leg was just too much. It is such a little fighter it deserves all the help the Trust can give it.

The Mother and others had taken it back as though it was never away, and the mother is still very protective to it. It needs to double in size and have a better leg to have any real chance of survival.
