    Duckling(s) with respiratory or muscle issues?

    UPDATE: The two Welsh Harlequins are doing better as far as the respiratory infection. They don't like a syringe down the throat when I do it, but it's almost as if they forgive me as soon as I'm done manhandling their heads. Still have a concern for the smaller one, which we confirmed at the...

    Duckling(s) with respiratory or muscle issues?

    Just heard back from the vet. She said they have congestion and she watched them doing the weird breathing. She believes it's an upper respiratory infection and wants to put them on antibiotics. Her second guess would be that they have gapeworm, but since they don't spend much time outside...

    Thanks! I may have to leave them separated for a bit until i know they're on the mend and getting enough niacin.

    Duckling(s) with respiratory or muscle issues?

    I've been trying to find a way to upload a video on youtube, but I can't get it to work and I'm getting frustrated. Just imagine a duck sitting, then standing and lowering immediately, then sitting, then standing and lowering over and over every 2 seconds for 10 minutes until it just decides to...

    Duckling(s) with respiratory or muscle issues?

    First time poster out of Arkansas. Signed up because I couldn't find a situation like this through searching. 2 and 1/2 weeks ago we bought six ducklings from TSC. It appears we have 2 Mallards, 2 Black Swedish, and 2 Welsh Harlequins. We've been using pine shavings as media, elevated...
