    Duck coughing, unable to lift left wing.

    Hi, so I’ve been handling a Black Swedish for 8 years, who’s suddenly suffering some kind of wing injury and is coughing a LOT. He never had angel wing, but struggles to keep his wings in his down, which I recognize is a stress issue. I understand he is old, and in fact recently lost his...

    Duck Twitching Wings?

    This is Honeybee, we just got him recently. He is about 5-6 months old, male, call duck. He started twitching his wings randomly. Maybe stress from being in new place? Seizure? Sickness? He is eating and drinking fine, preening, bathing.

    Ducks constantly sick

    Hi all, I have been taking my runner duck and mallard to the bird vet every 6 months for checkups - especially because my runner suffers from low calcium and needs an implant every 6 months to stop her laying eggs. However this is not the only problem, it seems they both always have something...

    Duck looks sickly, not sure what to do

    So i have had this Rouen for about 8 years. As healthy as a horse, but for the past couple of weeks he’s been noticeably becoming more unhealthy. He seems more week, his feathers are scruffed, he seems to be gaining weight, and is far less mobile. Any ideas on what it could be and how to handle...

    Duck suddenly ill, acting drunk

    Our flock of 10 (3 months old) was acting fine until 9 moved off leaving one behind. She just kind of stood there, head kind of swaying. My husband went up to her and she slowly made her way to their pond (the other ducks were digging elsewhere in the yard). She slowly drifted, with her head...

    How do you catch a sick duck in a pond - she can't get out

    Hi, My lovely Cayuga (Coogie) has hurt one leg, maybe because with the drought there are a lot of exposed rocks at the edge of my natural, spring-fed 1/2 acre pond. We built a ramp to help the ducks in and out when the water levels started to fall a month ago. She has tried to stand at the end...

    Sick Duck?! Help

    I bought 6 females to add to my flock around a month ago. Around one week ago, one of the ducks started presenting symptoms. It started with a “squeaky” quack and she was shaking her head when she quacked. My first though was she was choking or clogged sinuses. I flushed sinuses and have tried...
