Metacam 1.5 mg/ml - .35 mL - .75 by mouth once daily. This was for a 6.5# duck.

Interested in taking on a year old Buff Drake? or Anyone one that may be able to take him?

I would think she would start moving after alittle more time. When my duck was down it seemed like he wouldn't move much at first. I did however not keep him separate from my one other duck and he always like to be by her. She gets moved when you change her bandaging so I guess I wouldn't be...

Anyone?

Its been awhile since I have been on this forum, so I'm not sure if this is allowed here or not. I already posted to the Free Rehome page. Anyway I have a 1 year old drake buff that I was told was a hen when I adopted him at 8 weeks old. Well its been almost a year and with another Drake and...

Last summer my pekin drake was limping around. I picked him up and one of the bones in his foot was protruding from his skin. I'm a vet tech for a dog/cat hospital so I called up my boss and he agreed to help me treat him. After a month of twice daily antibiotic and changing of the wrap on...

About a year ago I took in a duckling for someone that was trying to hatch 6 ducklings. Only one hatched so I took it in with my 2 Pekins, we had just lost one of our own. About a month later this cute little duck turned out to be a drake. We already have a drake and they are not getting...

She just passed away. Not sure what happened to her. I'm guessing the heat, but I just don't know. Not really sure what to do with her now as we live in a subdivision and can't just bury a 11 lbs duck.

Is drank alittle. She has a bowl of peas and water. She ate a few peas and drank some water. We haven't used the fire pit since we got the duck because of the smoke from fires. So probably not much ash left. There is lava rock in there though. I have not see her defecate at all since I...

I went outside a bit ago and only 2 of my ducks were in their tub swimming. The temps here have been in the 90s for days. I looked for the other duck and found her inside the duck house with vomit everywhere! I picked her up and misted her with the hose and cleaned her up and she cannot...

I have 2 females and 1 males pekin...my starting laying at about 7 mos old the day after Christmas. They stopped for maybe a week when they were molting, but ending up laying the rest of the time. It was a very cold snowy/icy winter here and that didn't even stop them from laying. Maybe when...

Just wondering if it is still okay to eat duck eggs after a duck has been given antibiotics? I know there is a withdraw time, but even after that is it safe?

Quote: It is very possible for ducks, other animals and people really to get parasites from ingesting earthworms or eating raw fish. Bladder worms and Kidney worms come to mind when thinking about earthworm parasites.

I tried food coloring when our pekins were little and I had more on me than the ducks...it didn't seem to want to soak into the feathers at all I know they have pet quality hair/fur dyes...those might be more successful?

Aww...i was hoping only a month...I will try the protein and hope to get them back laying in no time! Thanks for the help!

I've been through my ducks moulting before, but I never really kept track of how long it took. One of my girls just started last week, and well of course her egg production stopped. I was a little disappointed because I hope to have eggs for Easter! I still have one laying every other day she...

Nettie I will be sending you an order today...I can't wait for my diaper harness to get here!

Quote: I'm not an expert on duck eggs, we don't even sell ours. But I use a small scrub brush, mild dish soap, and warm water on our eggs every morning I collect them. They were laying them under their duck house and they would get dirty, now they are back to laying in the duck house and not...

What a great story! How nice of someone to take Peanut in and take care of her like that!
