New here, so I apologize if I didn't look hard enough for an answer to my quandary. I've been dealing with duck plague for the past 2 months. I had several ducks, and they came down with duck plague. I separated off several males because I had too many and took them to live on a plantation. The remaining ducks that stayed with me have all died except for one.
I treated with Corid for 10 days, and all seemed fine. I still had 4 females and 1 male left. Then the male died, and I went and got another from the plantation where they were flourishing. Then, instead of the 1 dead per day I had the previous month, I started losing them again at a rate of one per week including the previously healthy male from the plantation. Now I'm down to one duck left.
Early on I noticed that they were drinking and bathing in a puddle in the drain field from my septic system. I have since fenced that off so that they can't get to it, but they are still getting sick.
So my question is, is there a place to get the vaccine that I can administer to them for duck plague? I can't find anywhere that sells it. Am I looking for the wrong thing? Corid is for bovine, but it is used to treat coccidiosis in fowl. Is there a horse vaccine or something I can get to treat duck plague?
