Thats a good idea, I try avoiding giving her the other animals food because I was worried it was too fatty for her but I suppose a small amount won't hurt. She does have an electrolyte powder that dissolves in her water, but she hasn't gotten any lately, she only took it when her sister was sick...
Hello, thanks for the reply! :)
She's just over a year old, she turned 1 at the beginning of october. She's not living with any other poultry right now but she surprisingly gets along with my cat and they hang out together lol. She always has water available to drink and a separate little...
So my duck is loosing feathers kind right under her wing (it looks like the image below, yes I know thats not a duck). I'm fairly new to duck ownership but from what I've read its either due to boredom and she's jut picking at her feathers, or from over mating (she lives with no other ducks...
Good news guys! I ended up going to the feeds/farm place that I buy their food from and told the staff in the medication area what was going on and that Lucy was improving so he personally went over and called the vet clinic he knew that dealt with waterfowl and supplied their medication and...
I've herd of tetracycline and amoxicilin for ducks but I'm not exactly sure what they do or what they are for. I'll give him a call before I leave to see what he recommends. Thanks for your help!
Good(ish) news guys! Lucy is now eating and is more willing to move around, I guess staying warm and resting helped a bit, either way I'm going out shortly to pick her up some vitamins and medication as shes still sneezing and coughing. Anything I should be looking for in particular to help her...
Unfortunately where I am most people only have cattle and horses so that's basically all they do besides usual vet animals, but I do have a friend who's uncle is a vet and I know he works with most farm animals so I'm going to see if he deals with ducks, on a good note she is moving around more...
Thanks everyone, I forgot to mention that she doesn't really seem motivated to move around and do anything, she kids of just sits, shes also not eating her field greens as far as I can tell and I'm not entirely sure if shes eating her corn, she also sticks her tongue out a lot as if shes yawning...
One duck was born the beginning of October 2012 and the sick one was born the last or second last week of September so they're about 6 months(ish).
It's about -6 C outside right now but the indoor portion of their pen where they are is warm enough for me to be inside without a jacket on (I'm...
Hi, first time duckie owner over here, one of my ducks seems to be coming down with a cold shes making a little wheezy noise and has the sniffles and is sneezing, shes also cold despite having a heater on near her. I don't really know what to do with her. I've provided more clean dry bedding...
Hi there! I just joined this site, I was looking for help with one of my ducks, she seems to be coming down with a cold. :( Where would be the best place to post for help?
Thanks! :)
