Just a quick update. They’re outside with their friends and new mate. Everyone gets along. Still in the duck pen (its movable so they don’t have to stay in the dirtiness for long) since I haven’t had the time to buy all the tools to drain the pond and clean it out. But I do plan on a thorough...
Hawks took her first steps this morning! Willis is doing excellent.
Here is what I did for them:
Two kinds of antibiotics from the vet. Two hours later probiotics from the vet. I gave them a very small dose of complex B vitamins. Blended duck food and syringes it on their tongue. I also did...
I still have no idea what they got into. We did a thorough yard clean and I found the one dead fish. That entire area has been cleaned. I am new to ponds and our pond did not have a pump. We tested it for PH balance which was normal but even with the fish the water was stagnant. We’re in Hawaii...
Update: Willis looks almost 100% better. Hawks looks better but still can’t move on her own and is panting. On a side note, my sweet friend knew how heartbroken I was a brought me a beautiful brown Muscovy gentleman as a present today.
Unfortunately Clayton died last night. I’m heartbroken. This duck followed me everywhere, let me hold him constantly, gave kisses, and played soccer. He truly was one of a kind. We did have a poop smear that came back negative for every ailment they can test for, so I am certain my muscovies ate...
Thanks everyone. We ended up getting them to a vet. Still not sure why it is but they are being treated with wormer, antibiotics, and probiotics. We also did a charcoal slurry this morning prior to the vet.
We are in Hawaii in the jungle. No wild ducks. I have call ducks as well who are not...
Thank you! Not eating but will drink if I did their beaks. They live outside but have access to a house. They tend to just stay in the grass under trees. I know a dead fish came out of their pond last week.
They are few rangers but also eat poultry food with oyster shells.
Need help. My Muscovy ducks are all sick. They can’t stand and have trouble lifting their heads. Opening and closing beaks. Sneezing. They all got sick within yesterday morning and this morning.
What do I do? The big one, Clayton, is my baby. He plays soccer with me and follows me around. Any...

Sorry! It took me a while to see these and if I skip anyone it is not on purpose.
We live in Hawaii and there are tons of mosquitos. I have muscovies to eat them but They’re just babies.
Good news is that she is already looking better! I have her on amtyl 500, half a multi-vitamin and one...
