Yes the swan is eating by itself and she actually stood up yesterday. ( sorry for the delay in answering I myself have been under the weather)
I offered her our horses hay soaked in water and a mizture of chicken scratch,layer and horse grain. She made a mess but sure loved it. We are all smiles!
Thank you so much for the info. I will do as your veterinarian requested and keep you posted.
We did try to find a swan rehab in our area but no one rescues "her type". What ever that means!! We do believe she's young as she's only about 14 lbs??? But has good weight.
Thank you once again
