Duck wing amputation - signs of infection?
Glad to see your duck is doing well. Just wondering do you have pics of the tumor on her wing? Did they test it to id what it was? -
antibiotics and other treatments for salpingitis?
My first girl just got eggs stuck and backwards, no warning, vet said it was probably because of salpingitis but I won’t ever know for sure. She had a hysterectomy and is fine. Second girl had a bout that I caught very quickly, course of amoxicillin cleared it and she went into molt as it was... -

antibiotics and other treatments for salpingitis?
I’ve had one or two girls with salpingitis. Was prescribed amoxicillin but if it reoccurs the only treatments are surgery or implants. She does look uncomfortable in your photos. It can cause eggs to get stuck and all kinds of things, you would really need an ultrasound to know what’s happening... -
Pekin duck - Egg yolk peritonitis
Have they had testing done? It’s not really contagious unless the core issue that caused it was contagious. Without treatment EYP can go downhill fast.- bubbyduck

Suprelorin implant with an already formed egg
Actually the vet is correct. The implant shrinks down the oviduct and the risk of that is that eggs can get trapped. This was confirmed to me by multiple vets including one of the best avian vets in the world. It doesn’t necessarily mean the egg won’t be laid but it is a risk factor and best to...- bubbyduck

Lupron shots
I haven’t had issues with it myself but have seen others mention if the dose isn’t right it can cause issues with the shells. Ducks need a high dosage and it affects each bird differently. I would try the suprelorin or consider salpingohysterectomy if you are having serious egg issues. But... -
Duck Hysterectomy?
Just curious how you went with your duck @Aunt Angus Sometimes they still need implants and Lupron even after hysterectomy so they don’t lay internally @CrystaBub your duck didn’t need this? -

Duck hysterectomy
No date at the moment. Still trying to make the decision. Most vets won’t touch the ovary so it doesn’t include ovary removal. -
Duck hysterectomy
Basically she has two eggs jammed up in the oviduct. They are saying it’s basically like a closed cervix, she cannot get them out and they are starting to deteriorate so she needs them out. It’s probably happened because of internal damage and they won’t know until they get in there if she will... -
Duck hysterectomy
I have a duck that’s supposed to have this done. Would love to chat! -
Duck shaking head and having a new quack
I could certainly be wrong but I have done a lot of research into aspergillosis, vet papers etc, because one of my ducks has had the issue as long as yours. I went to the vet and did blood test and X-ray. His lungs were clear. Most of the ducks with severely affected lungs seem to have the acute... -
Duck coughing/shaking head for a week now. Video included.
Do you have a video of your duck? I have one doing similar. I believe it’s aspergillosis. Causes obstruction in the trachea 😞 -
Duck shaking head and having a new quack
I’m just coming back to this thread. How is she? My ducks have done the head shake as well, one consistently has a long term issue. I’m curious how long it had gone on for your girl before you started the Oxine? My belief is this is chronic aspergillosis presenting as trachea obstruction.
