First of all I’m hapy for you Tiff, this has been such a worry, I hope you can now rest assured that your wonderboy will be fine (everything concerned). Flapper is really brave and so cooperative, no one likes the vet, but he just lets it all happen, for his own good. Good news! I hope the stretching will help in the long run and that he can play and nap and eat and poop like he’s supposed to.
Happy Spring to all residents at Casa del Flapper:-)
The story about the parrot is really funny!

I’ve got some good news too. Snuggles is really doing great these days. He walks better than before, he can stand on his bummed leg really well and can walk in a sturdy fashion for a couple of meters (than he likes to sit down for a moment).
He’s been inside the pen all Winter, snow and ice were too dangerous for him, but now he’s ready to go outside again. I will perpare a special bedroom for him for the night and will watch him closely, but the prospects are good (though his leg won’t get completely better I realise).

Gayle -

Please don’t make a donation for Flapper. I don’t use donations for my pets, only for rescues. Flapper’s care is all paid for… nothing to worry about.

Flapper is hot for waffles lately, and I make them once a week. They’re vegan waffles and he goes bonkers for them.

Flapper is put under anesthesia for the cloaca stretching, but it does hurt a bit afterwards. Next week I will give him some pain medicine before he goes into see the vet.

Thanks for the well wishes. He is doing great for now.

I got online 3 times today just to check on Flapper’s condition. So glad you had the chance to let us know how he is doing. Why is he currently into waffles and not french fries? has the french fry tree not blossomed yet like everything else here in the Puget Sound?

Is this quite painful for Flap to have this opening procedure done? Does he handle it ok? I’m going online to Kirby Kosby Memorial to make a donation to his continued care.

We’re thrilled to hear Flapper is on the mend! So thrilled! Waffles for him and a big sigh of relief for the human!

Buddy’s funny! I had a Quaker parakeet that mimicked the beeping the smoke detector made as the battery was dying. This went on for an hour or two. My dad was not amused.

My sympathies to Flapper’s vet for Buddy’s shenanigans. Then again Buddy could have been shouting much “saltier” things. I’m dang glad Peepers & Tweek, our Green-Cheeked Conures can’t repeat what I say.

That’s a cute story about Buddy.
It looks like Flapper will be okay now.

Tiff

We are so sad to read this news! Stuart says if he could fly he would be over there to try to help out his buddy, Flapper. We wish him a speedy recovery. You know these ducks, they are strong. We know he will get past this.

All I can say is keep picking him up if that helps to get rid of urates!!! LOL well, whatever it takes to get rid of what is bothering him – more waffles, more french fries, peas, more lovin’…..

So glad he is feeling much better.

Aww. Bless his little waffle-lovin’ heart. I’m so happy that he’s feeling better.

Soon he’s going to demand that you take him to IHOP after every vet visit, for waffles. Then McDonalds for fries, of course.

When does he plant his Waffle Tree?
