-duckling video- choking? sneeze? blockage? Is something wrong?

[chickens really]

Videos I just took now. It's hard to tell which one is better so I'll post both. These are just her breathing but loudly. Where could something be hiding to cause the sounds?? I'll look again if I know where to look.

What are you feeding and why is the water that colour?

Oh thank you! I live in a farming community so I'll look out here too. There has to be SOMEONE

I hope you can find someone. If you can't find an avian/exotic, call your local cat/dog/cow/horse vets and ask them if they can help.

That was the nutri drench

I will do that too

K do you think she could have gotten something down in her lungs. @casportpony

 

[Miss Lydia]

I know they don’t have actual lungs like us but maybe sucked something down the wrong way? Glad you have the Nutri drench!

K do you think she could have gotten something down in her lungs.

I am thinking that she has some sort of respiratory infection or that she inhaled some food.

I would stick to the proper feed and regular water. Pine shavings and not mess around with extras ..

I agree. You can tell by the video the duckling isn’t well. I have a feeling based on how the birds acting, if it doesn’t get treatment it won’t make it.

The only time I’ve seen ducks drool is when I pick them up wrong just after drinking a lot and their crop is full. It accidentally gets squeezed and they puke.

Thats where I'm heading too, I just can't find a blockage or a lump or anything. She blows in the water too. I haven't seen any throw up. I tried googling the inside of duckling mouth and couldn't find an actual picture. It was lots of photo shop pictures and nothing helpful .

Same. I don't think she'll make it but I'll remain hopeful . It just it was it is. I will cull if it gets worse with no hopes of getting better. I just can't let her suffer..but don't want to cull if theres a chance. Searching for vet now.

I haven't seen drool today yet. Just yesterday in the bath. Very odd.

I'll keep an eye on her, keep her warm, stick with water, nutri drench , wet food and well just see. Hoping for a vet some where close!
