    Injured Duck, Need Help

    I came across my duck laying down, barely able to move this morning. He is unable to stand or move much and it appears that he is unable to open his bill on his own. He has been cheeping constantly. I do not see any physical injures but am new to ducks. I did check the band on his leg but it’s...

    Duck not walking and pecked at

    Hi everyone, New duck mom here 👋🏼. This duck (I assume female) was discovered this afternoon just laying around. I approached her and instead of standing she used her wings to try to get around. That was her state all day. I put her in the pool and she stood on both feet and moved around in...

    Ducks front middle claw ripped off completely, should I be worried?

    I took my ducks swimming like usual, then I noticed my little one had something red on their toe, I took them (Still unsure of gender) out of their carrier, and realized their whole nail was gone, now that’s left is this red thing. I think it’s the quick? It doesn’t seem to hurt them because I...

    Injured duck

    I have a duck who flew into the outside corner of the coop today and her wing is now hanging and she has a pretty large bulge on her chest. The bump on her chest is worrying me more than the wing, does anybody know what she may have broken? Will be calling the vet Monday but was hoping to get...

    Injured duck

    I just got home from vacation and noticed that one of my duck’s face is a little swollen and the top of one of her nails is scraped “I think the hole top layer”. How can I help her? She is a lot calmer too which is a little odd for her. Any ideas? Thank you

    Injured duck foot

    Our Cayuga has an injured foot. One of his toes is separated from the web. I put wonder dust on it to stop the bleeding and put him in a dog crate bedded with hay and food and water. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Dougie has hurt herself again!

    This morning I quickly realised that Dougie isn't putting weight on one leg, she's holding it, out (forward, perhaps slightly to the side) but above ground, whenever she attempts to walk on it, she limps or falls, it's definitely causing her pain. I felt the leg and haven't noticed any heat...

    Older duck with leg issues

    Hello, my mom has two ducks that are about 5-6 years old and about two weeks ago, one of them stopped walking and her hip/haunches are really bony and pushing up in her wings. My educated guess has been it's a bad niacin deficiency but I'm not really sure. For about 5 days now we have been...

    My Duck Has a Swollen neck

    I woke up this morning to let my ducks out of their coop, when I saw that one of them had her head stuck. I immediately ran outside and got it out, but she’s pretty swollen all around her neck and her breathing is pretty labored. We are currently chilling inside away from the other duck, but I...

    HELP- Injured Duck not Eating

    Friday afternoon I found my two ducks separated and hurt. My best guess is they we’re attacked by dogs, which plucked most of their feathers and tore their skin. I brought the ducks in and cleaned them as best I could, google said to clean the wounds with saline so I did. While there is a lot of...
