Hi Isaac,
Unfortunately the link to the physical exam didn't work. I tried my best to perform one and then compare to my other duck and I can't identify huge differences. No unusual hard or soft parts.
Her legs are not baring much weight but when I looked at them they don't appear to have...
Thank you Isaac. That's a great idea - I'll bring her onto our back deck which is better insulated and make sure she keeps warm. She is eating and drinking which is good. I'll have a go an examining her closer and let you know how I get on.
I have two Muscovy ducks as pets - there are about 6 years old. In the last week one has been lame. She is only able to lift her head not her tail. She can move around a little but stays in one spot mostly. See attached picture. What can I do to treat this? She is much loved by my two year old...
I have a pekin duck which I got when they were one day old! We originally thought it was a girl but after a year assumed it was a boy due to the lack of egg laying! Just recently she started laying at 20 months old! Is this usual? She is very shy and sweet and has always quacked so maybe that...
My Muscovy duck Daisy (what a pair!) if doing the same thing, I haven't been counting but I'm sure it's been 28 days + she's been broody. She sits on our chicken's eggs. She is one mean duck - she bites, hisses and when you remove her from the nest she chases the other chickens and ducks and...
Hi All, I have two female muscovey ducks that are about a 1 year a a bit old. One lost all her flight feathers in a matter of weeks and the other started to lose hers but stopped half way! Her feather are almost ready to fall out (dirty brown and look unhealthy, sticking out more then usual) but...
Hi Lydia, We ruled out Botulism because she still has good use of her neck. She is weak but she can move her neck freely and as desired.It's summer here at the moment so it could just be molting .... Will check in on her this afternoon and let you know how she is.
She is not much better unfortunately - walking around but still only drinking a little. We got her some antibiotics and she starts on them today. Forced her to eat some pellets out of the water so hopefully she will be on the mend soon! Thanks for your support!
Hi Lydia, No she is not laying at the moment. We are in Brisbane, Australia. We feed her laying pellets and kitchen scraps. She also likes grass and insects. We have 9 chickens and 3 dusck (2 muscovy and 1 perkin) but they are all fine.
Last night she started to drink thank goodness!!! We have...
My duck is sick a few days ago she stopped eating and drinking and wasn't walking just sitting! She walks a little now but not much. She keeps her wings at her side and her beak has red rash by the looks of it. Really concerned. Help please!!!
