Oh my god! Please don't struggle. I know, I know. We'll get this off you soon.
I need help right away. I'm near the roadside channel
and a duck is trapped in netting. The ducklings are here too.
Easy now, easy. Here's some water for you and the babies. It's okay.
They're completely tangled in the netting down there. Okay, I see them. Just stay with her.
Oh, thank goodness you're here. She's completely stuck.
You did the right thing calling. She's still fighting.
She's wrapped everywhere. We'll do this carefully. This leg loop is tight, but we won't rush it.
Hands alone won't do it, but we'll need to cut, but slow.
I'll start with this one loop on her chest. One, the rest are still tight.
Good, tiny cuts, no sudden release. Still snug. She's not loose yet.
We'll move her in the net, nice and steady. Stay close little ones. We're almost at the car.
We'll ride together, mom in the crate, babies right beside her.
Mom's secure. Now we get the babies into their own tub. Mom's secure. Now we get the babies into
their own tub. One at a time, all together, right next to mom. You're all riding together. No one
gets left behind. We'll get you checked out. Thank you for calling this in. Hang on, we're
almost at the clinic. She's stable. Let's free that leg first. Loop off the leg. Circulation's
already looking better. Net's off. Now we make sure nothing underneath is damaged. No cuts,
just compression marks. She was lucky. She's sore, but that leg still wants to work.
This will ease the pressure and help that leg recover.
Good girl, drink a little, you're safe now. If she wants to eat, that's a very good sign.
No fractures, no internal bleed. She got out just in time. That leg's moving well.
Next step is getting her back to water. Let's see how that RIT leg handles a first step.
She's putting real weight on that RIT leg now. She can hold full weight on that RIT leg. This
is very good. Perfect. She's pushing with that RIT leg in the water. Her stroke is even. RIT
leg and left leg look strong. She's ready for real water. Okay, mom, this is your water again.
Look at that push. Her RIT leg is doing its job. From a roadside net to this. They'll remember
that someone stopped when others didn't. A net took away her freedom, but kindness gave it back.
