Flapper is at the ducky hospital today. I hope the vets can figure out what’s wrong. I always assume the problem is his chronic plumbing issues, but maybe it is an infection like Chewy had earlier in the year. That scared me when Chewy had it and he acted similar to how Flapper is acting now. A random infection would be much better than problems related to his digestive system/chronic problems.

Flapper came in the house at 6am to hang out on the bed with me. He slept with me on the bed while we waited for the vet’s office to open. He is lethargic and listless. He just stands wherever you put him. I can’t tell if he is in any pain or not at all. He does shake his tail now and then, but those chronic problems do cause him discomfort even when he’s not critically ill. He ate a few peas and drank some water and we rested for a few hours. As soon as the vet’s office opened we took him there.

I made Flapper a waffle square for the road and he perked up quite a bit to eat the bits of waffle. When we got to the vet they said “he looks pretty active,” so that is good. Hopefully he’ll stay strong today. He’ll get oxygen and an IV if he needs it, while they figure out what’s wrong (if they can).

Keep your fingers crossed for us. Or your webbed feet.
