@cheese.and.quacke7: We are definitely hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst. Thank you all for your kind messages, I have been reading them even if I can’t respond to them all right now❤️ I’m taking a lot of time to try to stay level headed to be here for dipper and keep my emotions out of my decision making as much as possible, which is really difficult, because there’s never enough days you could give me with her, she is and always will be an incredibly special duck. #ducks #ducksoftiktok #homestead #waterfowl #duckcare
I hope this isn’t overstepping but I work in vet care and your reaction to this is the most empathetic and responsible I’ve ever seen. You so obviously care so deeply for your ducks their wellbeing and happiness is your top priority and I love seeing it and I’m so glad your babies have you to look out for them the way you do

The amount of times that my call ducks have defy the odds. Amazes me. You as an animal lover are doing the best you can for what you have. She loves you no matter what. And my experience the ones we are more attached to seem to fight hard harder. Even on their dying breath. There’s been a couple of my animals where I’ve had to give permission to tell them it’s OK for them to leave before they actually left. She loves you and you love her. You have done amazing and you’re doing amazing. 💕

This is the same philosophy we use at my rehab facility. Birds are so tricky, too. Often, especially in geriatric animals, we have to sit down and really consider if we are prolonging an animals life for our benefit or theirs. It’s our duty as caretakers to make sure they go out with dignity. But for avians especially. Their lives are so much different than ours and we must consider what means more to them rather than what we think means more.

You concern about her quality of life is the most important thing. True animal lovers care about what the animal is going through and not how the human is affected. I hope Dippin Dot doesn’t suffer. I hope you know you are doing the right things.

Is kidney failure common in ducks (it is in cats) ?

You are doing everything right for Dippin Dot. It is so important to hear you say that it’s what is best for her, despite how crushing it is to you. That’s maturity. That’s responsibility. I hope to always imbue this level of priority over personal emotions. Praying for your little babe to have a smooth and loving and gentle exit from this plane, or even more, a miraculous improvement for her sake to see Spring one more time. 💛

I am so incredibly sorry! This is never an easy decision and hurts so much every time. I always question whether I'm cut out for this when something like this happens but we give them lives full of care, comfort, and love. All of that matters more than anything. Whatever your decision, you're doing right by sweet Dippin Dot. 💔
