A duck which survived being shot before spending two days in a refrigerator has now overcome major surgery - despite briefly dying on the operating table.

Florida vets working to repair the gunshot damage to Perky's wing panicked when the duck's heart failed.

But they managed to resuscitate the bird, who shot to fame when she was found alive in the hunter's fridge two days after being shot.

Perky now has a pin in her wing, but is expected to make a good recovery.

A duck in the US state of Florida has survived gunshot wounds and a two-day stint in a refrigerator.

A hunter shot the duck, wounding it in the wing and leg. 

Believing the bird was dead, he left it in his fridge at his home in Tallahassee.

The hunter's wife got a fright when she opened the fridge and the duck lifted its head, a local veterinarian said.

So, hubby goes out shooting the local widlife to stick in the pot.

One of them survives and it gets whisked off, presumably at great expense, to the vet.

The question that springs to my mind is why bother?

It's hardly going to put up much of a fight so wring it's neck and start chopping oranges.

Apparently it's got a 75% chance of survival so what do you do with it then?

Keep it as a pet?

Not recommended for wildlife.

Set it free so you can have another shot at it?

What would you do?

Pluck it and stuff it?

Give it the gift of life?

Use it as target practise?

Unbe-sodding-lievable!

They'll be having duck aid next.

This is one of those moments when you have to stop and think 'Somebody actually got paid to do that'. The same feeling you get when yet another creativity-free advert comes on.

This is truly a super duck. Never mind the Virgin Komodo Dragon, this is the new messiah.

What drugs were they taking when they wrote that?

Be kind to your web footed friends cos a duck could be somebodies uncle (or so the song goes)

What brought about the change of heart? Two days earlier they were quite happy to kill and eat the thing. I say stand by your principals and think of that crispy duck skin.
