Veterinarian tries to save injured duck

An injured duck was found near the side of the road in Peterborough, Ontario. An officer with the Ontario Provincial Police gathered the duck up in a box and took it to the Kawartha Vet Emergency Service in Peterborough. Molly was x-rayed by Dr. van der Meulen and her staff, and it was then discovered two interesting things.

It appeared that Molly was a mother, with two eggs developing in her womb. The second thing was that Molly had two bullets in her hip. Molly had been shot. She had some blood coming from her mouth, suggesting an internal injury. This was also consistent with being shot through the lung.

It seemed that Molly was shot by a hunter but she managed to fly a short distance to land on the roadside. Sadly, Molly succumbed to her injuries the first night, but she died peacefully in the safety of a warm place, as opposed to dying at the side of a noisy road.
