    Feeding a sick duck?

    Thank you :) She actually seems a lot better this morning, she’s walking around and dabbling and ate some pellets today! I think I’m still going to try and give them some calcium glucanote, but if she’s eating on her own then I don’t want to risk tuning her badly! It’s so nice to see her...

    Feeding a sick duck?

    Unfortunately not :( We could see if we could borrow someone’s tube if they have one but if she’s not eating tomorrow then we’ll definitely buy one! You’re all amazing and so helpful! Thank you :)

They did examine her and some sticky clear fluid came out of her which they thought could be egg white, and I’d...

    Feeding a sick duck?

    My duck hasn’t been eating for about a week now and I’m really worried about her! 9 days ago she seemed to have trouble laying an egg, which did come out but without a fully formed shell. She kept on pushing for the next couple of days and her appetite gradually dwindled until she won’t eat...
