Well, I'm finding it's very hard to find anyone anywhere close to my area that works with swans. I do have a vet that we know that is willing to get me some B-12 and Antibiotics to give her but he has no idea how much or what kind. He asked if you could help us with that information then he would help me out with the medication. Also, most of what he has is of course by injection, so will that work and where do we give her the injection? She is still on the porch. Each day she waits until dark (I think so she can sneak in without the male seeing her) and goes back to the pond. Once he sees her he chases her back out and she's back on the porch every morning. She is not eating, even though she tries she seems to choke, so I'm not sure if she's sick or has something caught in her throat that is keeping her from eating. She does seem a little more chipper today. She's been grooming herself, but still no eating and very little drinking unless she's getting what she needs when she goes to the pond for those short periods at night.
