My Muscovy got worse! Worms? Coccidia?

[The Ranch Girl]

I feel your pain with your special duck being sick yet not knowing what is wrong nor how to treat. You have her on a good diet. You are keeping her safe and offering extra minerals and vitamins in her water. There is no specific symptom but it hurts "waiting and seeing".

Unfortunately, unless you can access a vet, you are doing the very best for her.

I doubt that she has West Nile or another viral infection. Bacterial infections should hsve revealed themselves by now. I've never had to treat a duck for coccidiosis. I have rescued ducks from unsavory places but none have been infected. I think you would have seen blood in the poop if coccidiosis were the problem , severe enough to cause her to become anemic (pale). However, in the face of no other diagnosis, treating her for coccidiosis seems reasonable. It woukd be a "trial of treatment" to see if it works.

If you girl does not have infection she could have a blood problem and only a vet can diagnose that. I doubt that there would be a reasonable treatment.

Or she could have an internal congenital anomaly or a tumor. Again only a vet can make these diagnoses.

My advice is carry on with her first class care; do not be concerned about watery poop as she is drinking but eating little. Give her lots of love and hope for the best. I hsve cared for a sick duck for 5 months until he eventually, and at the time unexpectedly, died. That was hard, but all my other sick ducks have recovered from whatever was ailing them, with just supportive care

You are doing your best. You cannot do more than that

Thank you SO much! You have no idea how much I needed to hear that! Yes she’s a special little girl and I’m going to continue doing the best I can for her, I love all my ducks but little Daisy still thinks of me as her mom lol.
Every time I would go to feed them she would do a little jump and grab the end of my shorts gently, as if she was saying “hurry up!” Lol
I will do just as you said and give it all I can!
Thank you again so much, your words are very comforting
