Ducklings were used for medical therapy in the 1950s. Ream more here.
We know how human and non human animals can make each other feel better without speaking a word. Here is an example, HABIT, an outreach program ran by the University of Tn College of Veterinary Medicine. They don't have any ducklings or alligators enrolled though.
Are there similar therapy programs that you are aware of? Please share.
