    Help, one of my 4 week old ducklings is bloated, firm belly, and lethargic

    I have to report the sad news, Stripey passed away this afternoon. The antibiotics arrived yesterday and we started her on them immediately, however, I believe it was already too late. As of this morning she was very sluggish and was barely hanging on. I appreciate all of your help and...

    Help, one of my 4 week old ducklings is bloated, firm belly, and lethargic

    Thank you for your response Issac, I appreciate your feedback. We will definitely start her on the Enrofloxacin as soon as we get it. I'll definitely use your dose, do you recommend just syringing the medication into her throat instead of mixing it with water? Thanks again, Sabrina

I have a 5 week old duckling who has the same issue (so it seems) and this post is the only one I can find that is remotely similar to my situation. We are hoping that ours will turn out like your Nutmeg and that...

    Hello, I'm new here and I'm hoping that someone here might know what I can do to help one of my ducklings. "Stripey" one of my silver appleyards seems to have a firm yet squishy bloated belly, she is acting lethargic and is not holding her head up as high as her flock mates. I noticed it this...
