My 4 year old call duck is limping since I opened the coop this morning. She was perfectly fine last night, and now she can barely move around. I brought her in for an epsom salt soak already, and now she is separated from the other ducks. While in the bathtub she did not use the foot at all to...

I called the emergency vet and they were able to do a virtual appointment since we are so far away! She said it most likely was an egg moving through the system that just pinched a nerve and made it painful for her to walk for a few minutes before it cleared up. If it happens again, I can take...

Yes I think taking her to the emergency vet will be my best option. She is acting perfectly fine now, but I would like to know what's going on. She is a pet, as well as a "pet social media creator" which is my job, so I am pretty much willing to do anything to make sure she is okay

They aren't open until 9am tomorrow morning, but I will call first thing

She is an established client, but they are by appointment only and since their policy is "do not give medical advice over the phone", they wouldn't even let me explain what was happening until the appointment. I'm not happy with that response, but they're the only avian vet in the area. I might...

My apologies I did not see this earlier. She was completely fine after this up until today. Now I'm dealing with this, but not sure if it's related or not https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/duck-having-trouble-walking.1459212/

My duck is suddenly having issues walking. We made an appointment at the avian vet a couple of weeks ago because she was making a weird sound from her stomach, kind of like crackling. The vet would not give medical advice over the phone and the earliest appointment we could get is still a couple...

Here is a link to the video of the sounds (note there is a fish tank in the background, I'm talking about the crackling sounds from the duck though)

I noticed around noon today that my call duck was making a crackling sound coming from her stomach. I figured she was just about to lay an egg or poop. But it is not 7pm and shes still making this strange noise. She is eating, drinking, swimming, and pooping as normal. It's just the weird sound...

I used to free-range my ducks but after dealing with predator attacks during the day time I decided to move my flock into a predator-proof pen now. I used 1/4 hardware cloth around the whole thing and built it on a concrete base (filled up with soil) so that nothing can dig underneath. Due to...

My white call duck Sugar seems to be getting wet unlike the rest of my flock that use their preen glands to help them not get wet. I’ve tried doing research on wet feathers which led me to look at her preen gland. I have attached photos. It looks normal to me besides the fact that there is so...

Hello! I currently have a mixed flock of ducks and I'm looking to sell all of my larger breeds and buy more calls so I can just focus on them. I'm having a hard time trying to find any call ducks. They don't have to be perfect show quality, but I would prefer small ones with tiny beaks. I am...

Hello! I'm interested in buying some call ducks. I currently have a flock of mixed ducks and I'm selling all of my larger breeds so I can just focus on the calls. I was wondering what varieties you might have available?

One of my ducklings is seeming to be having a lot of trouble. When he was hatching the mom threw him out of the nest but after a few hours I placed him back in the nest, he hatched just fine. He's clearly the runt though since he's so much smaller than the others. They're all only 3 days old...

yep, I just heard TSC has an all flock feed, I'll buy that and the nutri drench ASAP tomorrow, thank you for the help!

I'll buy nutri drench tomorrow too!

I have a local TSC so I'll go look for it there tomorrow since they're closed now. She will have oyster shells available 24/7. Thank you so much for the help!

there's the video i took right after i got her out of the bath tub. right after i took this i wrapped her in a towel and held her head up. She was fine and started preening herself again when all of a sudden it happened again,.. and again... her poop looks totally normal though

thank you!
