She didn’t make it. I let her rest in her house in the pen after her last nebulization and she was gone when I checked on her. I think she may have had an underlying condition for some time maybe. She would pant a lot in the heat while my other duck didn’t but who knows. I’m glad she’s no longer...
Unfortunately Holly isn’t doing well. The vet said he believes it’s a heart condition or an infection. She can’t breathe well at all and is really struggling. She’s currently on 2 antibiotics, 2 heart medicines, an anti-fungal medication, and an anti-inflammatory. We’re also nebulizing her. So...
Hey! I have an update on Holly. We will be going to the vet tomorrow as she has developed coughing and wheezing. The tricide neo has been working great for her bumble though. Unfortunately when I was soaking her Friday she did get one sip of it and coughed. I gave her lots of fresh water after...
Thanks! I’ve been using the green goo poultry first aid on her as well. It has comfrey in it, but other things too. Do you think the pure comfrey is more potent?
Yeah she should be getting the most of it. I bought a dull tip syringe and inject it into strawberries and she eats them all up! Lol she loves strawberries! I’m worried it may be a different issue than niacin but idk what. The vet should have seen if it was arthritis on the x ray so I don’t...
Hey! I just wanted to make sure, the dosage is 1 ml 1/day for the b complex right? That’s what I’ve been doing but unfortunately haven’t been seeing results. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I’m glad your duck is feeling better with treatment! What substrate did you use? I’m currently using the compressed straw which seems to be the best so far. With the large pine shavings she got it all stuck in her nose so I have to flush it with saline. Still happens with the...
Yes totally I can try again. She walks ok with a wrap but it always ends up soaked no matter what I do which I felt was more gross than nothing. The shoe worked better to keep dry but that’s the one she walked horribly with. I want to see how the tricide neo works first as apparently you don’t...
Okay! Will do! I’ll just give her a big bowl so she can dunk her head without totally bathing. Yes I’ve seen her preening. She actually overdid it in some areas and pulled out some of her feathers. Oh wow that’s rough I hope they were able to keep them oily! Thanks!
I’m not keeping it wrapped anymore. I noticed her limp got worse and she stopped walking around when I had it wrapped. She has improved with her leg on the antibiotic, but she never got totally better. Before going on it at her worse she would only walk to eat then lay down. When she was on it...
No problem! I appreciate the help! Yes, she had a scab on the right foot when I took her to the vet. The vet did the surgery and removed the infection. After that the same bumble kept getting worse. I attached a photo from Wednesday and one from today. It looks really weird. The skin around the...
Unfortunately we had a set back today so I have her inside overnight to rest. It was a really nice day today so I had the baby pool out for my other duck and a small tub for holly. Holly hasn’t been able to get into the big pool with her leg issues so its been okay, but she managed the jump in...
Perfect! Thanks for sharing! I’m getting the b complex from there tomorrow too so I’ll get that as well! Unfortunately I can confirm that she has wet feather. Of course you had just told me to be careful she doesn’t overdo it with my other duck and that’s exactly what she did! I’ve been keeping...
