    Advice Duck Wings after Eagle Attack (with video link)

    He seems to be improving. He still has a somewhat poor appetite (mostly eating a small amount of treats) and his poop has been minty green since the attack but I've been noticing less of the green spots each day so hopefully that starts improving.

    Advice Duck Wings after Eagle Attack (with video link)

    Thanks! Would enrofloxacin work? There is a wound under his right wing so I just applied more iodine which I did the first day, too. I haven't opened the wing though cuz I am worried about hurting him if is dislocated or broken. Is there any way I can get an idea on if it's broken or dislocated...

    Advice Duck Wings after Eagle Attack (with video link)

    My duck was attacked by an eagle. At first he seemed mostly unharmed, albeit rather traumatized and there was some blood in a few spots and he couldn't flap his wings like normal. Last night his wings started drooping like he was struggling to keep them up but today they seem like they are in a...

    Skin infection, skinny, opening beak with no quack

    Funny enough I haven't noticed any overzealous behavior between them lately, particularly since they started molting, and even before that there were only a handful of times I saw some mating/dominant behavior. I'll keep an eye out for them but they were so happy to see each other when I brought...

    Skin infection, skinny, opening beak with no quack

    Just got back! They were just scabs! The vet was able to pull the rest of it off. He thinks they were probably from my other drake getting a bit rough. We got an antibiotic (Orbax) to treat his respiratory infection so hopefully he stops being so picky once he feels better.

    Skin infection, skinny, opening beak with no quack

    I will update after the appointment. Here is a better picture of the chunk of skin thing. It's on both sides of his body hidden by his wings. The yellow part lies against his body but I was peeling it away for the picture. I forgot to give it a whiff and didn't give him an epsom bath. I'll wait...

    Skin infection, skinny, opening beak with no quack

    Thanks! I will try to give him a bath and smell when he wakes up from his nap. I didn't even consider maggots 🤢. They have a dirt floor for their night coop that I don't clean as often as I should and they are free range in the yard all day. I only have two ducks. Food they get duck pellets, I...

    Skin infection, skinny, opening beak with no quack

    Hi, I have a male Ancona duck that has a weird chunk of skin growth or scab-like thing in a couple spots under his wings and he feels very skinny. The skin thing was able to be moved and wiggled, it almost seems like matted feathers but like they're growing the wrong direction. His breathing...

    Duck penis comes out sometimes when pooping?

    I'm not sure if it's "normal", but I see it with my drakes from time to time. As long as it goes back in and doesn't look irritated, I don't worry about it.

    Bumblefoot or something else?

    Unfortunately Hay Hay died this morning while I was setting up his indoor space. I am wondering if maybe he had an illness unrelated to the bumble or if I gave him too many sunflower seeds while he was hurt to keep his appetite up and maybe that caused a blockage. 😭

    Bumblefoot or something else?

    I think I spoke too soon. He is going downhill fast it seems. He didn't eat today and he just laid down all day. In his side of the coop I found tiny bits of minty green poop and when I picked him up today his breastbone felt more prominent and he seems skinnier. I ordered some Enrofloxacin, but...

    Bumblefoot or something else?

    I made a vet appointment but they can't see him until May 17th! I watched some videos on bumblefoot surger and they seem to risky for me to do myself without more experience. He's doing okay for now, still in pain but still eating and drinking at least. Do you know if any of the antibiotic...
