Shes much better now. I think you were right about the drake stressing her! Heres a pic (taken last year!)

Not to her (that i've seen) but towards me when ever i go near him or her

Thanks, Having got home and had a look at her, she seems to be walking ok, unlike this morning. I'm wondering if something spooked her overnight and shes either banged her head and suffering from a bit of concussion or maybe a bit of shock. Either way shes not her usual vocal self...

Thanks, I worried it might be Botulism. They get fresh water every morning, but the water the swim in is pretty mucky. My Mrs is on the way home now so i'm about to find out how shes doing!

No smell of ammonia no. Ok will try the warm water when i get home. It was her eyes that worried me also, looked tired

For the record, she was her normal self the night before. It took me a while to catch her

Hi, I have too call ducks. When i let them out in the morning, the female is usually very vocal and goes straight for the food. This moving she wasn't moving, I took her out her house and she looked dazed and confused. Her left wing and leg seemed to be shivering and shaking. When...

Sorry I never updated this thread at the time. He made a full recovery!

I have 2 call ducks and they both do this strange moonwalk also. Not sure what it is but they have always done it since they were adults. I always assumed it was somthing to do with their digestion or trapped wind. I don't think its anything to worry about.

Another thing to note is she has become much more aggressive. Normally the drake would attack me when ever I put my hand in to change their water or food. But recently she has started attacking me also, in fact she does it more then the drake now. I've always played up to this, allowed...

Hi, Thanks for your replies. Firstly with regards to Electrolytes, is this the same thing as rehydration sachets that we use when we are sick? (apologies, there our first pet ducks so we are novices.) The ducks have been spending more time inside with us since the attack. The drake was...

Attached is a picture of her wing.

Ever since my male call drake was attacked by a fox (Mohammed if you've read the other threads, narrowly escaping with his life) he and his lady duck Daphne have been acting very strangely. After making a full recovery after a long (and expensive) stint at the vets Mohammed returned home and...

Had some good news. He's started eating again, Not his usual dried food, but he took down 6 large worms this morning! The vet said he's looking perkier and he's started quacking again! We get to bring him home tomorrow, he''s still be on liquid antibiotics and pain killers so we'll...

Vet said he is looking perkier, but he's still unable to stand on the leg where the bite was. And hes still not eaten anything yet. We are taking his partner down tonight and she is going to stay with him in the hope that it might help. Shes at home alone now and has really eaten much since...
