Hi! I have two ducks. Male (Pekin) and female (mix of Pekin). They are 4 months old. I am new to owning ducks. They are indoor outdoor ducks. They sleep inside at night and we allow them to roam during the day and swim. We love them dearly.
Yesterday I noticed what looked to be my ducks throwing up or regurgitating their food. They were opening their mouth, shaking head side to side and peas and worms came out whole almost like they weren’t even chewed or crushed. Which were given to them maybe 30 min prior. My Twixie girl did try to get in some dry cat food and successfully took some, where I am assuming my boy did too.
When they vomited they were in the car with us. We take them on car rides occasionally. They are acting normal now. But I was really scared they were like choking. Idk I am a worry wort.
Do we think it’s because of cat food? Not big enough grit? (We have been using chick grit and was going to transition after the bag was empty to adult kind), or stress of car?
Thank you!
