I would give antibiotics and create additional food and drinking water containers. Potentially, being bullied because she is weak/sickly. Then because scared to eat/drink due to bullying - not eating and drinking. The reason I always go ahead and give a broad spectrum is I had poultry die that...

Ducks get equivalent to PTSD. He does not feel safe - so not coming to you even for treats as scared and does not know what is going to happen. He would not have killed the other duck. Thank you for caring enough to get on here for advice. Please think about your set up, enclosure, on how...

Sounds like racoon. They will slash throat and not actually eat them. I am so sorry for your loss. The racoon will come back for the other duck.

In the future, keep in mind you can send the body for a necropsy to the State and it will cost very little and provide a wealth of information. State of Florida is only 50 dollars for a complete necropsy which also checks for many different common diseases.

JUST FYI before I knew better I fed mine corn and it did not kill anyone. Mazuri and all feed number 1 ingredient is CORN. In a natural environment, a duck eats insects, grass, and a LITTLE maize (corn, wheat, millet etc . . ,) but they would not destroy a corn field but eat the bugs on the...

Make sure it is NON-MEDICATED starter feed. Also, if you are able send image where ducks are enclosed. They may be exposed to air toxins or something. For example, I knew someone that had her enclosure inside garage next to a propane heater. The propane fumes killed them slowly. The avian...

My ducks had to stay on doxycycline for 2 weeks (the 3 days we tried did not work). Doxycycline is a miracle drug worked better then anything we tried (Tylan, penicillin, enroflaxcin, etc . . ,) This post was not mine I just chimed in with being careful about dosing but wanted to let you know it...

9 air sacs! There is a cervical air sac which I never knew about. Thank you for the diagram as I have searched for this many times online and can never find the answer and a diagram. For some reasons, all air sacs are never labeled or even on the diagram. This will help me so much in...

I am a duck person, not chickens but all the research, PUBMED databases, etc always uses chickens so I read chicken studies and apply them to my ducks as there are very few duck studies. I have lost 2 ducks to egg binding. Both times, she could not walk. The vet said that many times the...

At this point anything. You need to check if egg bound as this will cause lameness. Enroflaxcin or Doxycycline is broad spectrum and usually covers most gram negative bacteria.

If you have any antibiotics available, then administer.

Thank you thank you thank you as dose so little using bread is the only way to make sure it went down and not around mouth

Is Pippi better? If you have time, please update us.

I had necropsy and susceptibility panel thus almost any of the antibiotics I had on hand would have helped. Also, I was using meal worms and did not know that it was too much phosphorus causing worsening of kidney disease and causing calcium deficiency i.e. phosphorus/calcium disturbances...

I say this as I did not on one of my ducks as I was watching and she did not act that sick. She just fell over DEAD. It was an infection and she was able to bath and move but was not acting like herself. Because she was communicating with me etc . . , I was waiting and treating for egg bound...

Administer antibiotics - do you have anything on hand?
