pips&peeps :
If your duck had gape worms, your whole flock of birds probably does too.
It might be wise to treat them all.
Glad your duck is better.
Yea. I was thinking about doing that.
Gloria,
SHE IS GREAT! Like a whole new duck. Not gasping or shaking her head or sneezing. She is perfect.
The ivermectin must have worked. She was even making the mandarin duck noises (like a cooing).
Im so glad she is okay. I will still keep her seperated from the others for a couple more...
Thank you. I will retreat in 10 days.
I really hope that she lives. She was fine yesterday, then this morning shes gasping for air, coughing, and has all the symptoms of gapeworms.
I noticed today that one of my Mandarin duck hens was gasping for air. Her crop is empty.
Could this be gapeworm? I have her seperated now. How is gapeworm treated?
