Unfortunately she did not make i got her to eat but her poop was staying a very dark color so I'm thinking some sort of internal bleeding may have been the case thank everyone for the help
The vet option is unlikely. I have been hand feeding her I'm able to dunk her head in very liquidy food and she eats it enough to keep her alive so far. she had a special chicken that she treated like family and she was really into my hand feeding her treats so I don't know if its depression...
her feet don't look swollen or anything parasite related that I can see just is very lethargic from not eating much of anything part few days been slowly recovering from unknown issue
i should add she is my only duck now as we just got rid of the males after they almost broke a chickens legs...
She recently got very sick and stopped eating and as she recovered from that she seems to have energy back but now is paralyzed it seems maybe a niacin deficiency could also be the culprit but id like a second opinion
Muscovy ducks don't get sex feathers like those but thank you I think the three males with the one brown potentially being a bigger female but doubt it
On the left is the original duck
So far she has recovered well she has a slight angle to her bill when eating but besides that a happy duck thanks for help again
so ATM the plan is to try to keep infections out and hope that since its a growing duck it will adapt to this deformity scab off and grow around. Covid-19 really hurt the finances this year so this is the best option thanks for any help everyone.
Im actually realizing that i saw it at about 9 am and the wound was pretty fresh so im leaning towards the duck got its head stuck trying to get out in the morning and a cat attacked it
no the remaining 3 are going to go stay in A Frame but they go into a run area during day
the injured duck is going to stay indoors until i can figure out whats going on
Seem to drink fine i threw a few meal worms in water to encourage drinking and all good looked all good. This cage is where theyve been staying was going to transfer them to the A frame second picture once i found good spot but now it may be immediate there bodies cant fit through the cage but...
