Hello,
My male Muscovy duck (4 kg) seemed perfectly ok till last evening. This evening I found him sitting inside the coop (might have been there since the morning), not moving at all. His legs were flappy. He was breathing quite rapidly, but this might be due to the heat (now the pace is slower). He refused to drink by himself so I immediately gave him around 40cc, but he did not improve. His upper body seems to be ok, but he is not eating nor drinking (apart from two sips he took by himself).
What can be the cause for such symptoms (immobility of lower body, nor drinking and eating, rapid change)?
I would highly appreciate your help.
