    Please help! Lethargic duck with white stringy/mucous poop

    His vent looks like the white mucousy poop or goo is around it and his poop looks like the white/clear strands and sometimes it looks like he's pooping dirt chunks. He must br feeling somewhat better because he's doing little head dunks in the bath and he wasn't before

    Please help! Lethargic duck with white stringy/mucous poop

    He doesn't seem much different :[ I have noticed he seems to be growing very sensitive towards his vent area, flinches when I pet him and sometimes if his tail touches the ground he jumps and flinches. Tail still turned downward. He is even flinching to bath water touching his behind area.
