I have a 5 month old female Pekin duck. The other day I saw her laying on her back with her legs moving slowly in the air. I have two other pekin ducks, a male and female. And I saw them pecking at her stomach. I turned her over to see if she was injured or bleeding but she wasn't. When I turned her over she was very unbalanced and couldn't hold herself up. I separated her from the other ducks so she can gain her strength. When she looked better she was with the other ducks and then she started having a very horrible seizure and the ducks ran over to her and started pecking her, I don't know why they do that to her. It's been a few days now and she still has seizures but not as bad as before. She looks like she lost weight and looks like a very sick duck, I feel so bad for her I don't know if maybe she ate something bad? I bought activated charcoal and started putting it in her water today to eliminate any toxins she may have in her stomach. Maybe she has an avian disease I don't know I really want to bring her back to perfect health I hate seeing her like this. And today she was separated all day from the other ducks until I put them away at night, but she started following and started to peck my other female. I separated them tonight, but is there anything I can do? There is no avian specialist by me that deals with ducks. Please any ideas this is killing me seeing her like this
