She has a huge mirror in the yard and another one in the coop. Taking her with me is not an option, we are flying overseas. We never got another duck because the vet pretty much told us about a year ago that she had egg yolk peritonitis and would probably not live much longer. But she's defying...

I have one lone female pekin ducks. We originally had 3 and raised them as pets but sadly 2 have died. She's been alone since (about a 1.5 year) and she's almost 3. She no longer lays eggs either. About a year ago, she developed a big belly, and the vet took a sample, tested it and diagnosed...

Sorry, it was on another thread

Just careful not to drain too much at once as it can put her on shock. The video posted here really helped. I did 2 60ml syringes at a time. After the 3rd time I only got half and nothing after that. Not sure what's going on.... but just beware of not doing too much at once. Good luck!

I have not tried Enrofloxacin. After we ran out of the antibiotics the vet gave her, we did a round of Baytril. I'm debating if I should do another round at some point. It's so hard not knowing! Keep me posted on how she does. ❤️

She's still the same! Clinically well, although her belly is still super big. I have tried draining more but the last 3 times literally nothing came out. I've been giving her drops of oregano oil in her water.... and really have no idea what else to do! Good luck with your duckie too

UPDATE # 2 She's now been on Baytril about 5 days. Once a day. She still looks swollen but I cannot seem to drain anything anymore!! I have tried twice and literally nothing in the syringe... IDK what to think anymore! Her behavior is still pretty normal- in fact she's been quacking loud as...

UPDATE: I drained another 120ml today (see pic). It was less green-ish and more brown-ish, and slightly foamy. Afterwards we weighed her at 11.1lbs. One question: I gave her 0.5ml of Baytril tonight in a syringe- I can't put it in her water because she gets fresh water from a hose...

Thanks to everyone so far! ❤️ This is the pic of the antibiotics she was having. She had 3 courses in a row and ran out a couple of days ago. We do have Baytril and I'm probably going to try draining her some more tomorrow and start the Baytril. Will probably restart the Meloxicam on a couple...

Hello. I have a 2yo Pekin that has had a distended belly for a few months. She acts completely normal, except she hasn't laid an egg in months.... and the last few she did were soft shelled or super small... Anyway, I thought she had water belly so about a month ago I took her to the vet. He...

Thank you so much for the video and well wishes. We took her to the vet, they did a sample draining (it was grey!) and everything was looking grim. It turned out it's egg yolk peritonitis. We can't afford surgery, much less without a good prognosis. But we've been doing antibiotics and...

My almost 1yo Pekin has this belly - it feels hard, kind of like a water baloon. It also sits pretty low when she's standing. It doesn't quite feel like an egg, even though I don't really know what an egg would feel like. I don't know if this is related or not but just adding info: she hasn't...

You were more helpful than you can imagine. ❤️ Thank you!!

Hi @Quatie , I just wanted to let you know she passed away on Sunday. 😔 Thank you so so much for all your insights and all your priceless help. ❤️

Hi @Quatie ! Thanks for asking, and sorry for taking a little bit to get back to you... it's been a day! She's not worse, but she's not much better. The labored breathing improved, although she still has sporadic episodes. But mostly I'm still worried because she's still not drinking or eating...

Yeah, it's not an easy job. I had them low (past the glottis) but they were bigger syringes (3ml, 5ml...) so I think that didn't help. Now with 1ml it's easier to go down more. Hopefully this will keep working!! I'll go 2 more days 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I have been trying to give the probiotics but she doesn't really drink it. I was trying to give some on the syringe but I think that contributed to the choking so I haven't been pushing it as much. It's available right next to the water, I've even put cut up grapes on it but she hasn't touched...

Hi again !! Today is day 5 of the doxy and she is finally started improving! I have a feeling she did not ingest enough medicine the first couple of days. I was using a syringe and made sure to avoid the glottis but she always seemed to "hold" some and then cough some up as soon as I was done...

Thank you! I'll keep you posted.😊

Thank you so much! It makes perfect sense. I originally did the math thinking of the mix, and it wasn't until I mixed it that I thought of the concentration. But I was running late so I gave her the weaker dose just to give her something. I just adjusted to the proper one, and this was...
