Sick Duck, Advice Needed

[Sue S]

Advice needed, please. My 2 year old female Khaki Campbell has not been acting right for the last 5 days. It started on Friday she wasn't hurt or attacked by anything but she suddenly stopped eating, I've had her isolated from the other ducks, she's been in my sun room so I can monitor her. I've been giving her Electrolytes which has seemed to help a little bit but she's still not eating. I've put out different foods for her to eat duck pellets, oyster shells, green, a raw duck egg, anything I could think of that might make her eat, but nothing. I'm at a loss of what to do. Taking her to a vet is not an option the only vet that was in my area that took care of " farm animals " recently past away. Any suggestions is appreciated.

@Sue S does she lay? if so when did she lay last? Have you ever tube feed before? Any other symptoms other than not eating. Discharge from mouth eye nares or vent?

She passed away while I was at work

oh no i’m so sorry! ducks are good at hiding their problems and a lot of times we don’t even know that they’re sick until it’s too late.

So very true.
I am so sorry you lost her

Thanks, she was doing a little better when I left for work but she passed away as soon as I got home. At least I was with her when she passed

Yes it was.
