    Need help diagnosing duck illness

    @Stipenvlerk - Yes, I’m certain I made the bath water too warm :hmm @Miss Lydia - I got a good look in both eyes this morning. She’s not closing them nearly as often!

    Need help diagnosing duck illness

    I’m still treating her eyes, although she hasn’t let me get much into her left eye. It’s not crusted over or glued shut or really even showing much sign of drainage anymore - she just seems to be keeping it clenched shut. We’re starting to wonder if she was pecked and has lost sight in that...

    Need help diagnosing duck illness

    The behavior of our 2y old Blue Swedish female duck has changed over the last week or two. She’s not eating, laying, or foraging. She’s very lethargic, with most of her time spent standing still with her head tucked on her back and her eyes closed. Yesterday I noticed thick, clear tear-like...
