We brought home a little Muscovy duck yesterday lunchtime. The previous owner rough handled her, catching her in a net and by her wings. The ducks there had it rough, no bedding and nshe was soiled with poop everywhere.
Anyway, the car ride home was 5 minutes. In a box with a hole for her head...
The vet has found Ecoli and Baccilus, and undigested food in poop sample...but we have been giving kefir...we are confused as to what to do because isnt ecoli normal in a chicken and isnt baccilus in kefir?
Our girl seems to digest 'new' food. But not the small squishy bit with few grains...
Thankyou. The ducolate sodium i have is 125mg, and it says it contains benzoates. Its tablet form. Is that ok to use? Also, what exactly does this do? If a bird has a proventriculus or gizzard obstruction due to corn and bread suspected, can we still use this? Thankyou so much.
We are Sydney Australia.

During the night, she improves. Did more walking today. Even jumped off a bench neatly. But on being syringed and fed, gas get louder and poop gets more urates and fewer. When gases hit...

Gas through whole intestines?
Slow crop but no smell to it?
Lethargy and laboured breathing?
Crop puffs with gas and deflates?
No interest in drinking at all?
Only interest in fennel seeds, mealworms and starter crumble? But...
