    Possible Gapeworm Recovery- long story, seeking advice

    Update- my Laila ate some pellet over night, and this morning I gave her more lettuce and dried mealworms. She seems to be coming back to her old self and you can tell she is feeling much better. I am so relived! I was quite stressed when typing out that long story, and maybe someday it will...

    Possible Gapeworm Recovery- long story, seeking advice

    I read through your ordeal from 2023. That sounded very stressful with the back and forth thinking Poppy was better, and then the cough returning. The videos were helpful to me; it looked different enough than what my duck was doing that I think I was on the right track with gape worm. I'm not...

    Possible Gapeworm Recovery- long story, seeking advice

    Thank you Jenbirdee. What a great resource to have available for the swap check. I'll be saving that for the future and hoping I never need to use it. I will check out your previous thread if it is not one I have read before. Thankfully mine isn't gasping anymore, so I have veered away from...

    Possible Gapeworm Recovery- long story, seeking advice

    I did this morning, mashed the pellet and the mixed in meal worms really good and sticky; she mostly picked out all the worms, but did get some of the mush. Might go out and get some expensive Mazuri and see if she likes that more. We currently use kalmbach. More poo than she had been...

    Possible Gapeworm Recovery- long story, seeking advice

    Thank you so much Crazy Maizie for the reply and the advice on the dewormer. I will give her the next two doses. Her appetite seems to be returning since last night and this morning, and she devours any mealworms I give her right away, but still won't touch any pellet and still no normal poo.

    Dirty Bunny Bottom

    I was trying to find one to add to my post but ran out of time. I just dug one up off my facebook from last summer. I guess he does look overweight in this photo, but he's really not. I can feel his bones, he just has a lot of skin :D

    Dirty Bunny Bottom

    I am wondering the best way to keep my rabbits bottom clean. Here's the story. My Benny Bunny is 8 years old. He lives outdoors, spends his daylight hours hopping around our fenced duck run which is in a very large wooded area with lots of trees and shaded areas, branches to nibble and leaves...

    How do I free range my ducks in my yard?

    I have always given my ducks their meal worm treat at night so they are almost always waiting near our outside door for me to come out and put them to bed. We too are in a wooded area and my biggest worry is a coyote or a dog. We have had some opossum and raccoon come around near the day when...
