    Please help! My duck is really sick and has been for awhile now, but we aren’t able to find out the exact problem and we can’t seem to find a solution

    We’ve been to the doctors, but they couldn’t find out what’s wrong with her even with the blood tests and all. We’ve tried putting her on antibiotics given by the doctors (Meloxicam) and it helped, but didn’t solve the problem. She’s had this problem for months and it’s getting worse. We’re...

    Getting 2 pet ducks. Would it be okay to get different ones?

    I am getting 2 ducks as pets. I want to get 2 so one isn’t lonely, but I’ve been debating whether to get 2 Khaki Campbell ducks or 2 Pekin ducks, and was wondering if I could just get 1 of each? I’m not sure if they would get along together, and I’m not sure how to go about researching it

    Duck limping, swollen foot, unknown cause

    Hi all, my pekin/Aylesbury developed a limp around 6 days ago and there is significant swelling to the middle of her toe and what I would presume is the ‘ankle joint’. On her outer toe she had a little mark which was a small piece of thorn I have removed and the swelling has gone down on that...

    Please help! Where can I buy high quality laying duck feed in Canada?

    The place we usually buy the feed from won’t have it in stock anymore and nowhere else I’ve looked has it. Can someone please help? We have no idea what to feed her soon, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

    New here have a question about possible duck injury

    I just bought a house and the previous owner left his 3 pet ducks here. We’ve never owned ducks but I’m determined to learn all I can to properly care for them. It doesn’t seem he knew much about ducks either, they were for his kid but never handled just sorta there. The oldest duck, a Pekin...

    Please help! My duck is vomiting food and constantly shaking her head!

    Earlier today, she was very unwell. Her beak went cold for awhile and she kept stumbling around. We were shocked and worried for her, so we gave her meloxadin oral suspension anti-inflammatory medication. She seemed to feel a little better after that, but shortly later, she was unable to eat and...

    Please help! Is it normal for the side of my duck’s tongue to be white-ish? If not, does anyone know the cause?

    She’s one years old and she’s a Pekin duck. The side of her tongue has been white for awhile now and we still have no idea why. She eats and drinks fine. She sleeps well and she can be pretty active too. However, the side of her tongue is white and sometimes white slimy stuff makes it’s way to...

    Help, possible gapeworm?

    Hi all, Yesterday I noticed one of my ducks extending her neck and almost looking as if she were yawning, today I’ve noticed 4 of my ducks doing it on occasion and I’ve noticed a few little snicks and coughs, could it be gapeworm and is it transmittable from bird to bird? Or could it be...
