I’ve found something in the UK called VermX saying 1.5 ml in with their water for 3 consecutive days . Does that sound right as I’m wary of things I’ve not given them before .

I’ve not wormed them , so am interested to see how and what everyone does

My 2 Runner ducks are now 5 years old , very spoiled and having the time of their lives but I was reading an article about geese ( my neighbours have 2 Pilgrims ) and worming and it got me thinking about my own ducks . Should I be worming them ? What does everyone else do ? I’ve read a lot on...

Miss Presley is still holding her own , no eggs , lost her massive appetite but I expect that’s because she isn’t producing an egg a day . She greeted me atop a straw bale this morning so she could get a first glimpse of me coming to let her out which is a totally new thing , her mate was stood...

Thanks for the reassurance , I’ve been really weepy and upset over it all , panicking about what would happen to her if she kept prolapsing x

She laid an egg as normal yesterday morning , no prolapse afterwards thankfully but there was no egg this morning . She’s been very quiet and has slept a lot today . She’s still eating and drinking normally though , just seems a little out of sorts . Hopefully that’s all her egg laying done...

Morning , No , no receipt as nobody allowed in to pay , you ring up after you’ve returned home and pay over the phone . I would imagine they’ve started her on the smallest dose though to test the waters first . I’ll have a look on line for the antibiotic this morning

Hi , No they didn’t and I’m cross about that as I asked them to as they took her away . They said they thoroughly cleaned around the area and I asked about infection when they brought her back out after said they hadn’t given her anything . You’re not allowed to go in with your pets due to...

Just an update on Presley , she prolapsed again on Sunday , I managed to pop it back in , but then again this morning after laying and quite badly . She had an emergency appointment at the vets where they gave her an implant and managed to get the prolapse back in . Poor girl has been so...

Thanks for that . No discharge but I will keep up my hawk eye examination of her rear as I have been doing , so much so that as I bent down tonight to get a good look (my eyes aren’t what they once were) my drake went for my face , such a horror at the moment . Thanks for the details ,I’ll know...

I am watching her like a hawk , she’s eating and drinking normally and jumping in and out of her pools and seems her happy noisy self . What were the first signs of the bacterial infection , what should I be looking out for . I’m still waiting for the vet to get back to me , but they did give...

Prolapse not appeared since I popped it back in and 2 eggs laid since . Vet is looking into an implant for her but said as she’s not an expert in the field she is researching it and talking to people who are , so fingers crossed if she has it even in the short term it will give her time to...

Thanks , couldn’t be a worse time as everything is shut for the Bank Holiday and limited places open in general due to the lock down , I’ve no Epsom salts and not sure if Preperation H is a UK ointment , might have to Google it , and no suitable spray , I’ve got Savlon cream which is an...

Will do , thank you .

Thanks , I’ve just been and had a peep around the corner so they can’t see me ( they come running to say hello the minute they see me) and they’re both fast asleep , I’ll keep an eye out and separate them when they stir . I haven’t got a dog kennel unfortunately only the small duck hut but it’s...

My soon to be 3 year old Indian Runner duck ‘ Presley’ developed a prolapse last week . I took her to the vet who asked to see her and she had an injection to clear her insides out ( Oxy something it was called ) and they pushed the prolapse back in . The stress of the drive and visit nearly...

Well , the Vet couldn’t shed any light on the situation . She said he’s really healthy and it’s not Bumblefoot , his feet are smooth and in good condition apart from the bruises which she said are little burst blood vessels . She said she wondered about lead in the soil as we live in an old...

I will do , there’s nothing in the garden new and he’s 2 in a few weeks , it’s very odd indeed !

It definitely wouldn’t have done any harm , I was rummaging out a bowl before you replied to give his feet a bathe !

Thanks for your reply . I went out to bathe the foot and it was mud , honestly you couldn’t make it up , so the feet are just bruised . I spoke to the vet who said it is a form of bruising and I’ve got an appointment in the morning to discuss possible causes so that’ll be an adventure with him...
