I'm so sorry to hear about Daisy. :-( I know how you feel, even though it has been over a year since I lost Clover and Plantain to their reproductive issues, I still miss them so much. We tried so hard to save them. But even with knowledgeable avian vets it's really hard sometimes with ducks...
Oh my goodness, poor cookie!!!
My vets always have me give metacam when my birds are in pain. They usually have me give it for a few weeks tops, except for when Ginger was so sick and on it for months. I'm sure there is some risk, but they haven't seemed very worried about it. Maybe your...

#2 Shows blood on the shell but I'm speculating that perhaps if there was a smaller internal rupture or tear it could come into her poop afterward? I am very much guessing. No vet has told me this...
I've tried doing some research about intestinal shedding, I didn't know anything about it. Some people say it only happens when a duck is sick, others say it can happen at other times as well. None of these people were vets so I still don't know much. Sorry, it was very inconclusive.
If you...
I don't think I ever see blood like that in my ducks' poop. And I definitely think it is blood, because of how it acts on the towel. But, with rare exceptions, my ducks live outside and are pooping in the grass or on straw bedding. If they did occasionally have very small amounts of blood in...
Oh! My vet calls it Deslorelin, so I didn't recognize the product! I looked it up and it is the same thing. :-) I've had two birds in the past on that medication before. These reproductive issues are just crazy.
My duck is Thimbleberry, also a pekin. Thimbleberry's vets advised us to...
Since she is an inside duck is she getting too many hours of artificial light? I take my ducks to an avian vet who knows a lot about ducks. My duck was having, "too much reproductive activity." And the vet told me it was like being pregnant all the time for years. My duck was really tired and...
I was going to suggest I mail some Mazuri to you, but then I found this, "The importation of animal foods is subject to permission from the Veterinary Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
I'm not sure if that means food for animals or food made from animals. But it seems like things...
Bummer. I hope you can find some healthy high calorie foods she likes. Most of my ducks favorites are low calorie, like tomato and lettuce. I don't really know that much about avian nutrition - just that my ducks did poorly and were thin on chicken layer pellets or all flock feed. I also...
