Duckling Bloated Stomach - Critical Condition

[Crazy4Fowl]

I have a 10 day old duckling who is suffering from a bloated stomach. First noticed this yesterday and did research on it and didn’t find much on it besides ascites which said to be incurable and fatal.

This morning I checked her again and her stomach is bigger and she is breathing very heavily. I have a feeling the poor thing won’t survive much longer but I wanted to make a post incase anyone has any suggestions. TIA

They have access to clean water with added vitamins and minerals as well as Manna Pro duckling feed.

I don’t see a way to remove this post…

Unfortunately, she just died in my arms. I had a feeling it was too late

Could have been infection from the umbilicus. I am so sorry. A mod can delete this if you ask
