Thank you for your help. He’s 17 month olds

But I thought by increasing the mealworms , it will make up protein deficiency in the pellet? My girl molt just fine, it’s just this boy and it’s kind of worrying. If I have to add cat food in his diet, what’s the portion and how many times in a day should I give him? I normally feed him twice a...

His normal pellet, tomatoes, carrot, mixed millet, wheat.

Hi all I need help in molting with my Muscovy duck. Some part of his feathers had been replaced such as the top of his wings and underbelly but not much around his neck and wings. I have been consistently feeding him with roughly 50-60 mealworms a day this past two months but nothing grows on...

Thank you all for help. For the time being I’ll just clean him with clean water, no more Dawn until his big molt, Maybe use Dawn to wash skin around the vent once a week . As for lice and mite., luckily I didn’t find any. Hope I did not miss any spot. Anyway thanks again for the help. Glad I...

They do have swimming water but my drake never touch it because of wet feather issue. So I bathe him weekly using Dawn. Then I decided to bathe him with clean water instead because bathing is a struggle for both of us. Now every time I carry him up he always thought I’m going to shower him and...

No, they don’t have coop. Basically I let them wonder freely in porch even nighttime.

Hi all, just recently I found injuries underside of both wings of my Muscovy drake. Wonder what could go wrong. He’s living with his one and only gal. Besides there’s bold patches on his wing as well. He got wet feather since august last year. I wash him with Dawn dishwasher as suggested by the...

Thank you for sharing. Just want to be sure so I have to soak the infected feet in epsom salt EVERYTIME I redress the wound? I thought soaking is an one time thing just to remove the scab? For me, I only spray with Vetericyn for subsequent days after scab removal.

Hi all I need to know if I’m on the right track. I found bumblefeet in my drake, and opted for noninvasive method because it didn’t seem serious to me, I removed the scab and apple Vetericyn religiously 2/3 times a day. I didn’t wrap his feet, I just waited for 20-30 min until Vetericyn dried...

Thank you so much for your help. I finally get the response from the person you recommended.

Hi all, my Muscovy duck has been limping since yesterday. I checked both legs for bumble foot and did find scab on both legs but they do not look serious enough to cause limping. However on their second toes towards the edge, the skin is swollen and hardened (not sure if it’s the cause of hard...

His overall health looks fine to me. He’s just a bit thinner than usual and less crazy about feed. And he’s still as aggressive as ever with his poke. Just today I realized I had been feeding him the wrong feed. I fed him duck layer with 3% of calcium which I believe he does need this much. He’s...

He molts a lot recently but I don’t know it could be this extreme until small patch of his neck has almost gone bold. Could it be the feed that has not been nutritiously balanced? He’s reluctant to touch the feed if I put anything he’s unfamiliar with. Not that he’s unfamiliar with, he’s used...

My duck shed a lot, and his neck looks almost bald. Is it normal? He seldom eats the pellet I give. Not after much coaxing. He used to eat everything I gave but now he tends to be very cautious with food he puts in his mouth except for grapes and mealworm. Is there anything I can do to boost his...

Thank you for your post. Now everything makes sense. If it wasn't for your post, I may still not know the species of my duck. This sweeties came to our house uninvited. We suspected he was left abandoned on the street. Since then, he has become part of the family members.

Help needed. I suspect there's something wrong with the eyes area. There isn't any clear line between the beak and the head. Unlike the normal pictures shown in the internet. Overall everything looks fine. Embeded in the first and second picture are both the left and right side of the head and...
