Weegie Sleeps

After some weeks battling, little Weegie the disabled duckling was put to sleep today. The deformed leg could not be corrected and the position was such it could not survive even under the care of the Trust. It was unable to walk or preen, and could only shuffle on the ground, sadly the vets could do no more and had no choice but to alleviate it's suffering. Letting go is sad, but only ever done as a last resort in the best interests of the bird.
