He won’t come off the pond. The pond is fenced in. I used to feed them in the coop to get them to come in but it created a rat problem so I’ve had to feed away from the coop at a different time which allowed me to grab him for his medicine but now he knows he wont come off the pond if I’m close...
My call duck has been suffering with a sinus infection for some weeks now. We visited the vets and they prescribed antibiotics and anti inflammatory twice a day for three weeks. We managed a week and now he won’t come to me making it impossible to administer the medication! He lost his quack 3...
Thank you, yes I had been using VetRX on his nasals and under wings. He is eating and seems happy in himself but refusing to come close to me as he knows I grab him for medicine. 😩
An update…. Vet agreed he has a sinus infection, prescribed antibiotics and anti inflammatory to be given twice a day for three weeks!! First week went well but he has now figured out all my little traps to lure him in and refuses to come off the pond. He started to look a bit better but is...
Hello, I have two call ducks both 2 months old. They are currently on land with an outdoor run with water etc. We have noticed rats in and around them so wanting to move the duck house. Can they live on the pond if we put the house in the middle? Obviously I wouldn’t be able to get in to clean...
Hello, any advice on how to treat sinus infections at home? My duck has a vet appointment but not until next Wednesday. Is there anything I can do or buy to help at home? Poor thing 😔
No! I’ve two options one is 2 week old hatched outside by mum Runner x Cayuga ducklings. Or two week old Runner ducklings. Not sure how they would get along with my tiny 4 day old Call duckling!
I feel like I’m being a real pain on here so I do apologise but I’m super worried about my littler hatcher. He is fluffing up in the incubator but is unable to hold his head or stand. His eyes look a bit dry too and he isn’t opening his feet pads.
He’s out! I’ve popped his bill in some sugar water. Not sure he actually took any. Still laying down, lots of kicks and chirps. Hope he is okay by morning as I’m going to bed now 🤞🏼
