Thank you!

I’ve noticed my duck is looking wet while in the water. Her head in particular doesn’t seem dry when she is both in or out of the pool. We provide them with fresh water to swim in every day and they all seem to be cleaning themselves, so I’m not sure if it’s wet feather or not. I’ve also noticed...

It was a regular vet but the doctor specializes in birds

Worried about the ducks. We got them on 3/22. Took one to the vet yesterday and she is on doxycycline. Also using Vetrx Terramycin and ACV that everyone recommended. Did not do X-ray. vet said sounds like upper airway. Three others in the flock sound raspy but not as bad as her and she is the...

I have not seen any worms I really don’t know what’s going on with her. I am new to raising ducks. I just know the discoloration doesn’t look good and the quack is raspy.

We have been using apple cider vinegar. I tried to get VetRx but they were out so I am going to try again tomorrow. Hoping her symptoms are not getting worse. “She” has a quiet raspy sounding quack. I think the eye looks better though. Hopefully it is getting better and not worse.

Eye feathers were yellowing around and used treatment of ACV. Looks a little better in my opinion. But quack is very raspy. Duck is about 2 months old. Trying to get some VetRx like someone suggested

This is a picture of Monday and Today. I think it looks better. But not sure. Also I do not know if this is a hen or a drake the quack is very quiet and raspy. Not sure if this is due to drake or sickness. Thoughts please. I am new to raising ducks.

I have a separate bucket of just water and a 3 gallon bucket for dunking their heads

2 Khaki Campbell and 4 Pekins

Should this clear up on its own in a few days? When should I consider seeing a vet? Sorry for all the questions, I am new to raising ducks

Most days yes. This weekend they had a pool set up the whole weekend and were able to do that. And today I noticed this yellowing. Tonight I placed a bucket in their pin so she could dunk her head and eyes with apple cider vinegar. But I don’t know if that will help or what is going on with her.
