    Sick Indian Runner Duck

    How old is she ? Has she been laying eggs before and now stopped? What do you feed her? Does she have access to a calcium source such as crushed oyster shell on the side? It would not hurt to give her some calcium supplement in case if she is egg bound it will help get it moving out. Even if she...

    HELP PLEASE!

    I have a 2 year old hen acting very lethargic. Her head keeps twitching forward not to a certain side from what i’ve noticed almost like something’s stuck or she’s trying to push. She’s standing straight up like a duck. Not eating with her sisters now but was this morning. She is a rescue and is...

    Duck egg bound for 3rd time in past month

    She gets soldier fly larvae pretty often if that helps but I feel as if she isn’t egg bound since I don’t feel any hard lumps

    Egg Bound?

    Help! How do you know if your duck is egg bound? Do ducks stop laying in the winter? Our pekin hasn’t laid an egg all week, but it has been super cold so we thought maybe she slowed down or stopped. But today she is just sitting in one spot in the kennel. Not really moving around. I’m at work...

    Duck walking Lame

    A week ago one of our 6 ducks could barely walk back to the coop at the end of the day. We brought here into the bath and set up a kennel to keep her close. She ate and drank normally. We thought she was egg bound. 3 days later she was able to start standing and then we thought she just injured...

    Runner duck egg question

    We use it mainly to treat if one of our girls is having a hard time laying an egg it helps with contractions to get the egg moving. It can be used to help with laying soft shells also. But the main reason is to help get the egg moving and laid. I have only given it by mouth to one that needs the...

    Duck acting off, possible obstruction

    Oh my! He's Beautiful! I'm sorry he's not doing well. Unfortunately, I know very little about Ducks. Tagging @shawluvsbirds @casportpony @Jenbirdee @WVduckchick @Miss Lydia Possible that he may have a blockage. I'd take care in giving liquid oil, will he eat bits of coconut oil instead...

    Calcium Glubionate Help/Rant

    Hopefully someone like @casportpony or @shawluvsbirds can chime in. Curious how the EYP was diagnosed? Are your Ducks that deficient in Calcium for them to need it 2x a day? Perhaps you need to evaluate diet, I'm sure someone can help you with that. The Calcium recommended is quite...

    HELP! SICK DUCK?

    If you ever think your duck is egg-bound you need to have Calcium gluconate on hand TSC carries it and it is one of the best things to use when egg-bound. 1 ml to start with. I don't see a bumble on her foot. I would also get Liquid B Complex and start her on it ASAP. It may be a niacin issue...

    Duck not doing well

    This just came out of a duck - what is it?

    Any ideas what this is? Another duck owner sent this to me. She has three Welsh Harlequin females in a urban setting. They have a fenced in back yard, the ducks forage in the back yard daily and are fed a diet based on the recommendations of Tyrant Farms. I found they were getting a lot of...

    Duck sensitive vent area won't eat or walk

    Do you have any Liquid Calcium Gluconate and Liquid B Complex? the Calcium gluconate will help clean anything out of her that might not should be in there. Like broken egg shell pieces. It also helps to pass an egg if one is having issues. The fact she is pooping can mean she isn't egg-bound can...

    Egg Bound?

    Just found a vet 30 min from me that takes ducks. We are taking her tomorrow afternoon. Earliest possible. I will let you know what we find out. Thank you for your advice. We do have the calcium gluconate. And we are giving it to her. We thought we can only give it to her 1X a day. We will give...

    Limping duck, I don't know what to do

    I wasn't sure if the two issues are related either & I'm still not sure. She uses her right leg to scratch her head, so definitely not a egg causing paralysis. She does have access to oyster shell free choice 24/7, but I'll get some liquid calcium gluconate to give her as well. Do you think this...

    Duck not eating, appears weak and "tired"

    I’ve been thinking about your duck while I was doing my morning duck chores, and wondering if you should go ahead and give her some calcium gluconate liquid 1ml orally just in case she’s egg bound since she’s seven months and laid no eggs yet it won’t hurt to give her the calcium even if she’s...

    Duck not walking all the sudden?

    So this morning all my 9 khaki campbells seemed to be fine but next time I saw them about 3 hours later one of them can hardly walk. She doesn't seem to be egg bound as far as I can tell. She seems to be keeping her legs kicked back and can't put them flat really. What should I do or check...

    VETS OF NO HELP FOR MY SICK DUCK

    Hello, fellow duck keepers; my sweet Tilly, a year-and-a-half-old Saxony hen, has been sick for a while. I've been to two vets for 3 visits, and they cannot reach the root cause. She has lost weight, she went through two molts in the fall and her feathers did not grow back fully, she's pale and...
