    Duckling with possible pasty butt / vent issues

    Thank you for all the advice. I tried when we first found it and the wildlife place says they can't take them because ducks aren't considered wildlife because they are considered domesticated. They just suggested feed and keeping it warm. Other than the vent issue its doing well so far. Will...

    Duckling with possible pasty butt / vent issues

    The first picture is the vent. And if you look closely it has dry brownish color spots on it. Dry poop. He/she is able to poop it just looks like it gets stuck on the vent and feathers a little. But not bad where it can’t go. But it sticking out like that is strange. (Just from random pictures I...

    Duckling with possible pasty butt / vent issues

    Thank you I have tried the coconut oil. Still having a hard time getting what’s stuck on there off. Got it to eat some coconut oil with its food. Will see how that goes. I also got a few pics. Now what’s weird is in one spot where my pinky was (I circled it) it’s like a tight spot on it’s...

    What kind of soap did you use? It’s not a lot of poop but I’m still having a hard time getting off the small hard stuck on stuff

    Duckling with possible pasty butt / vent issues

    Yes. But not a lot. It’s really dry poop on the part that’s sticking out. I’ve tried to clean with warm water and letting it soak but I can’t get it all off and it keeps happening. Not sure if it takes awhile to go away or if I need to do something else. You can let them eat coconut oil? How much?

    Duckling with possible pasty butt / vent issues

    Hello, From what I have researched and read, I believe the duckling has pasty butt. I can't seem to find anything showing what the vent normally looks like with pasty butt. It seems to be sticking out or swollen. Or at least from the info I have found it doesn't look normal. When the duckling...

    EMERGENCY - wild ducklings

    Someone has just said the same thing about the one we just found. Said most likely it’s a Muscovy. Looks similar to the one you have pictured just a lighter bill/beak (I thought I was bruised when we found it) Thank you for your reply! :)

    EMERGENCY - wild ducklings

    We have found a duckling. Not sure how old. We have had for almost a week now. I’m doing the best I can with the little I know. And have read as much as I can. The second night we had the duckling it wasn’t doing so great but now seems to be doing better and actually eating. It wants to cuddle...

    Hello! New Duckling Mama

    Hi everyone, I’m Sarah from Mississippi. We have recently found a wild duckling all by itself. I am trying to learn as much as I can to care for this little duckling and found this page :). If anyone has some pointers or any suggestions (or threads I can go and look at) it would greatly be...
