I have a 9 month old pekin. The last couple days she has secluded herself outside, just resting. Today I have kept her inside. She has not had a bowel movement all day. She is drinking. I have put her in warm water with no results. We only have 1 vet in my area who treats ducks. I can not get appointment for a week.
Any suggestions are welcomed

@Miss Lydia Could it be an egg issue?

Can you get to TSC and pick up some Calcium Gluconate and a 1 ml syringe with no needle the calcium Gluconate will help get the egg moving. Sure sounds like an egg is stuck It is very serious.

I will get there. I did not know a stuck egg would stop bowel movements. I felt around her belly for a lump but did not feel one
