Yes, I think the biggest thing was that she needed grit, and my fault for not getting it right away as the feed mill suggested I don't need any. So the first few days I'd give her a bit of olive oil and massage her crop. Then I got the grit which she ate a whole plate full right away. Then I was...
Can you post a picture of it?

Here's her poop, its looking more solid today. I gave some ACV and then yogurt. The grit has been moving thru her system, I see it in poop!!
I heard it was hard to find a poultry vet so I'll just speak to my local equine vet I know. I was going to start the process of elimination with ACV and worming paste. Her poop is not mostly water, it's mushy because I took all the grains out of her feed (because I thought the grain was getting...
This has been happening for 4-5 days now. The good news is its not getting bigger (that photo was taken at its biggest, i got on it right away and it hasn't been this bad since) but when she eats its gets bigger which makes me believe something is stuck in there..something like straw...
Yes, she's getting grit since 2 days ago. I should've had it since the very beginning!! Hope it clears up in a few days then...not sure how fast grit works so I wanted to maybe help to break it down with some acid. I heard pineapple works and I tried feeding her that but she wants NOTHING to do...
Tell me about it! My heart breaks when I look at her:(
Her breath doesn't smell, I made sure to check that a few days ago.
Trying smaller meals is a good idea. I hope she doesn't have inherited muscle disease, that sounds serious!!!:hit
Thank you Kathy,
I will go buy some tomorrow and see if it helps. I honestly think it's just straw that she's eaten in large quantities...is there some sort of acid that can dissolve the straw??
If she has no worms then the paste won't harm her right? When I give her the paste she will be a...
Apple cider vinegar?? Really? Okay I got tons of that-I'll try!!
I don't know if she has worms, I'd see them in the poop right? Nothing abnormal in her poop
PH imbalance is an interesting idea. I don't think there's any objects in there, I don't feel anything when I massage the crop.
The other place didn't feed them at night either.
I'm going to eliminate straw completely and just leave hay to see if this makes a difference as she doesn't eat the...
Well I think when the food is no longer passes it'll be too late and I can say goodbye to her :( I'm trying not to get to that point. She does not get food at night however she snacks on her bedding (straw). Food is available all day, and she eats the same as when she first came here so I...
I do have probiotic yogurt which I was told to feed her if she has diarrhea. Her diet is exactly what her breeder fed her - I got her at 4 months old so she's been exposed to her food for a while. I haven't fed her anything different from when she first arrived. Just her food and lettuce treats...
Hi everyone! Please have a look at the image below and tell me if my female duck has an impacted crop! She eats non stop, drinks good, poops lots too. I picked her up for the second day now and have been massaging her crop, also gave her some olive oil prior to that. The crop isn't hard at all...
