    Lethargic Duck not Eating

    I really don't have the money for a vet. Havin a baby here in a few weeks. I took a sample into the vet today, so we should have some answers by Monday. Otherwise his energy is up, he's gained a little weight back, and he isn't sleeping as much. I think he's on the mend :)

    Oh wow The vet who sees ducks wasn't in when I called. I'll call them again and see about getting antibiotics :(

    Lethargic Duck not Eating

    He had a poop! I do have a vet here that I've taken them to before, but I don't really have the money for it. I will call tomorrow and see if they can run a fecal sample without an appointment, but I think otherwise they'd start with a blood draw. Two years ago I took him because he was acting...

    Also I just put out some electrolytes for him and gave him meal worms. He ate the meal worms right up, which is a relief!

    Lethargic Duck not Eating

    Ok! I will try to get a picture today. I brought him inside for a few hours earlier and put him in the bath. He seemed really happy and relaxed. He did poop while he was in the tub and I saw green, mucousy pieces floating in the water-not unlike his normal poop. Of course I couldn't see much...

    I haven't wormed them in a few years. Last week his poop was nothing but water, and when he ate lettuce just dark green water. I haven't seen any of his poop since then :/ Does this sound like worms?

    Lethargic Duck not Eating

    Hey everyone, I have a seven year old male Pekin who has not been acting normal for about three weeks. I noticed he was sleeping more and not being as active, but now he doesn't want to eat his normal food. I feed Mazuri waterfowl maintenance and they have never had a problem with it. He has...

    Pekin Duck Laying Down a Lot, Doesn't Seem Sick

    Hi all. My pekin duck Sammy has been laying down far more than usual lately. Sammy is 5 years old, I've had him all his life, and he is otherwise healthy. I noticed him laying down and straining a little to stand about a month ago. I responded by giving him warm baths for a few days and he did a...

    Update! Sammy did wonderful at his appointment and the vet said he looks "perfect." Everything is fine. He drew blood just to be sure. He said the only possible disease he could have would be West Nile, but it's probably not that. I will feel good knowing that his blood work comes back normal...

    Update! Sammy has a vet appointment on Thursday. I wish it could be earlier :/ He seems to be doing a lot better since he started getting ACV on Saturday. Still seems a little sleepy, so we'll see what the vet says. Thank you so much for the help! You guys are the best!

    I will probably take him to the vet on Monday to get some antibiotics. We have a wonderful duck vet here, fortunately.
