I forgot to mention thinking she had a concussion since she had some blood in her right eye. She also lost use of her right foot but retains the ability to move her legs and her left foot. She’s now coughing…or it kind of sounds like coughing but she shakes her head after like she’s got water on...
It’s been a long time since I’ve been on here for help which is good…one of my ducks had a tussle with one of my geese. She was found flapping around unable to walk in their pen. The first.few days she could breathe fine. She was eating and drinking with added electrolytes. Then she started...
I’m no expert and I have ducks but one of my ducks last year came down with a uri that wouldn’t go away. I used penicillin, the was recommended liquamycin and still it wouldn’t go away. I know someone who raises birds and is a wealth of knowledge it I was told most likely she is a carrier and...
Once again I have a sick duck. She lost her sister 6 weeks ago which broke my heart. That Duck one day stopped eating and was low energy. She stopped eating. Slept a lot. I held her most of her last day and the next morning I found her where she had fallen asleep. Now her sister Pato has...
:thumbsup Thank you so much! If all this info doesn’t help with getting them better there is a vet who is willing to try to help and will look at their poop! These are my 2 spoiled girls…That Duck is the one showing me how it feels to be an egg and Pato is the one with the light shining thru her...
I was just able to get a hold of a friend who rescues ducks and all kinds of birds. She has as much knowledge as a vet or more because there is only one avian vet 2 1/2 hours north up by Canada🙄 She gave me the correct dosing…less than what TS told me it was, and while TS told me to keep giving...
Help! My 2 Pekin females have coccydia. Or so I’ve been told. They have always been separated from my 3 jumbos for fear of they’ll be squished! And the jumbos are fine. But Pato and That Duck contracted this either from a dirty pen…my other half was in charge of them all after I had shoulder...
Hi everyone! It’s been quiet here in Vt unless I’m serving duck dinners late! The handsome boy in my new photo is Shirley! He is the dad of all those little babies Laverne hatched last March.
Thank you! That’s something I hadn’t even considered. She did have a prett bad abrasion at the bottom of her sternum but it was kept clean and healed over without any issues but maybe have it checked anyway. I’ll keep you posted for any breaking news!
I’m so sorry I haven’t posted since this past winter when my Rouen female Laverne hatched 7 babies! It was a magical time and she was the best mama ever! They all found good homes too so that eased my heart!
Back at the end of June I lost my jumbo Pekin female to a combo of a fox( after talking...
It seems when it comes to ducks, unless you’re lucky enough to have a vet willing to try to treat your duck, you’re pretty much on your own! Goosie, my 15lb jumbo Pekin had a severed case of bumble foot this past winter. He was really sick and I was so worried...did soaks...no improvement so I...
hi everyone! I’ve had ducks now for 3 years! I inherited my daughters 2 female Pekins when she left for college! They are a riot! They are indoor outdoor ducks and total opposites of each other...That Duck is energetic, runs everywhere and talks all the time! Pato is so chill, walks soooo slooow...
