    Duckling sick all of sudden, Help

    Just wanted to update everyone that was kind enough to comment on my post. Ducky got a lot worse before he got better but today I have a happy hungry splashing duck again. He gained a lot of attitude but I'll take it. :) I truly think he had a blockage because the minute he finally had a hard...

    Duckling sick all of sudden, Help

    The only thing possible yesterday was three bugs floating in his pool yesterday. He gobbled them up which isn't unusual but they were slightly bigger bugs than normal. So hopefully the grit helps break them down. That's the only thing I can think of that could be causing this sudden change in...

    He gets duck starter crumbles, greens, scrambled eggs, whatever little bugs are floating in his pool, etc. Has access to dirt and grass several times a day but is indoors the majority of time. He did consume grit this morning, perhaps that will help more than the little bit of dirt he plays with.

    Slightly more talkative and alert but not 100%. Ate some grit and half-heartedly picked at food. Drinking water with electrolytes and vitamins. Stool is still runny but varies between green and clear/whitish... No more blood. Wormed him last night with ivermectin.

    Thank you that's what my research has led me to conclude as well. He isn't around any other birds and is kept in a very clean habitat. Hopefully he makes it through the night and I will start treatment. No avian vet around, just horses and cows in this area unfortunately.

    Duckling sick all of sudden, Help

    I found a black bellied whistling duck as a hatchling, getting attacked by ants and completely exhausted, in a busy grocery parking lot. He recovered and has been wonderful, healthy and hilarious ever since. Until the second half of today (after a normal morning and lunch) I noticed his food was...
