Emergency call tonight after a mother duck with 10 ducklings was hit by a vehicle at the St Ninian roundabout. Prompt action by some drivers and taken in by Lyndy Geddes at the scene, until I arrived.
Have the duck now in care, until attention at the vets tomorrow morning. The right leg is broken just above the joint and she has a flesh wound on her back. I gave her some pain relief anti inflammatory, and have immobilsed the leg temporarily.
The wee ones have been clambering over her back, causing her some pain. I am hopeful the vets will set the break and she will recover OK.
