    mallard in respiratory distress any ideas what to do??

    thanks!! it seemed hard to find info on what to do for a choking duck :) This morning she is quacking pretty hoarsely and not as much as usual but she has eaten and laid an egg!! And is keen to get outside. She still coughs so I hope it is just inflammation and not still an obstruction. We'll see.

    mallard in respiratory distress any ideas what to do??

    she seems to have managed to clear her airway herself. She has stopped wheezing and is now breathing more normally. And spending alot of time blowing in the water.

    Jamey Duck, Give us Yee Jamey!

    Funny wouldn't attribute this type of emotion to a wee mallard. She, Lilly, was very vocal. She hasen't said a quack, but sits where Jamie used to with her head under her wing. We'll see, we may have to get other mallards or send her to live with some.

    Jamey Duck, Give us Yee Jamey!

    I'd like you tell you of Jamie. We adoped him years back his mate had been killed, wifey drove up to the north side of the lake to pick him up. He was a great looking mallard. We bought a young female mallard and she was all over him. Patd is duck in Armenian, Potdair is ducks, so we named...
