Yeap i am making sure of that! Unfortunately i havent gotten the tube feeding supplies yet as i will be relying on my local vets for that. I called up the vet but received no reply, they may be closed right now due to covid :( ive sent an email requesting assistance and am hoping to hear back...

I just wanted to attach some better photos of the feather issue, i feel as though this is something related as now half of his face appears more swollen than the other half. Hes also shutting his eye more on that side :( I also noticed that his tail was a bit dirtier than the rest of his body...

Thank you that is very comforting to know as that was my biggest concern

If im honest, im definitely terrified of tube feeding as im a bit squeamish and seeing them go through any discomfort makes me sadder than anything else. Ill most likely get my brother to assist me if and when i have to go through this. Is there any way to ensure that youre definitely going...

Thats a good idea, ill definitely try calling up in the morning prior as he really doesnt respond well to foreign items and especially not trips anywhere. Thank you for the information thread, ill be sure to check that out and talk to the vet for further guidance and recommendations if they...

Is there anything that you would recommend for me to try and feed him? Perhaps something light but nutritional to coax him into regaining his appetite? Ill have a greater look into tube feeding and grabbing the materials needed as well as how to go along with the process. Ill also try to do...

I feed my ducks with mixed grain and pellets from a bag bought from one of the distributors in sydney. Their diet has remained mostly the same over the past few years in addition to extra veggies every now and then to mix it up. (Mostly peas, corn and tomatoes as those are their favourite along...

To add on, the last two photos were taken earlier in the week. If you zoom in you can see a large amount of feathers sticking out. From up close it looks almost as if there were 2 feathers connected. Ive also just placed him inside a warm tub of water as i was worried about his bowel movement...

Unfortunately i cant take any new photos at the moment as its now half past 3am and i dont want to shake him up with the flash but i do have 2 photos taken earlier in the week and one sent to me by my brother so please excuse the quality. I can try to take better and more photos once morning...

hi, Its been a while since ive posted on this forum but thats only because i have absolutely no other clue or idea. If someone could help me or try to explain some things to me itll help me dearly For context, i have a male pekin duck whose about 6.5 years old. For the past month hes been...

Also a day has passed and although I gave them food yesterday night (which they usually go crazy for to eat before bed) there was about 3/4 left. Although my other duck is definitely eating more, I believe there is something wrong with my other suck too, though his appetite still seems to be...

Unfortunately I myself am a bit sick so its a bit hard to smell anything as of the moment. The one time I need my sense of smell I dont have it. But actually infection wise, there is a chance, recently like last month or so, he had somehow gained a massive cut on the lower side of the upper...

The title is a tad exaggerated as the illness may have spanned over quite the long period of time. But regardless, I am in need of your help. I had been told that I would get better responses in this section of the forum and in light of that, I have come to get your advice. There is more...

Thank you so much for all your help! That chart is indeed very helpful and yet very scary. There are so many symptoms listed that I had seen in my ducks, from eye discharges to shaking of the head. At first when I had searched about the meaning behind this behavior, a lot had stated it was a...

And thank you for your many advice, I will follow them wisely and carefully :) and im terribly sorry but what do you mean by lining on the stomach?

I feared that may be the case and was hoping that it was just angel wings which can be treated. Oh my! I really hope it isn't coccidiosis, that sounds terribly and I wouldn't be able to bare watching him in pain, what worries me most though is the speed of this development. The poop is very...

More information I had also tried to touch his wing and gently spread it but although he let me, it trembled greatly. Also I had remembered that I had recorded them for a good 2 minutes or so in the afternoon right after school (2:45pm) because they were in such a jolly and energetic mood. He...

Despite their name, the looks of it is causing me so much worry i feel like all my hair is going to fall out. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure if this is a case of angel wings or not, but today and only today have one of my duck's wings begin to droop. At first I had thought that maybe it...

of all details to miss out I cant believe I left out the breed. I have two ducks in total, both pekin ducks. I don't have much info on age or sex since I have bought them from a local pet store however I got them on February 15 so I'm assuming they were only about 2-5 days old at the time since...

I've always noticed that my duck had been sick ever since he was a duckling. However being a mere high school student I can't take him to any avian, especially due to the financial cost. He is approximately just over 3 months old and seeing how he passed the stage as a young duckling, I was...
