Very sorry for your loss. How bout an adult duck being as your drake is sexually active. Any bird whether duck or chicken could be injured or killed by a sexually active drake. But a chicken either hen or rooster would not do well with duck.

If you can buy Epsom salt and Molasses at the market where you buy groceries you can use either of those. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/flushes-for-aiding-in-toxin-removal.700526/ directions on how to use

Is it possible she could have eaten some metal? Did you try any of the flushes to clean out her digestive track? Can you post pics of her poop?

Corn based like for poultry? If she has't been eating you need to make sure she is hydrated before moving on to tubing food. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/tube-feeding-ducks-updated-5-7-2020.1211994/ How is she today?

When you get her hydrated what do you plan to feed her? Rice isn't going to be an adequate food.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-to-provide-emergency-and-supportive-care-updated-01-17-2021.1048620/ Here is some good info. I hope she makes it.

Sounds like she maybe dying. Has she eaten or drank anything today? We haven't seen her so of course we can't say what maybe going on. I'm sorry but it doesn't sound good. :(

What is corn flour suppose to do please? I am thinking any type of flour may cause her to become impacted. Is she drinking much?

Do you feed them feed for poultry also?

Do you have any of the things I asked about? If you don’t then I guess you wait it out an pray.

Do you happen to have molasses? or Epsom salt but of these can be used to treat botulism. Activated charcoal is excellent also.

When they aren't well they can chill easily, so make sure to keep her dry and warm. How scary to see her and think she had died, Relieved to hear she didn't. Do you have any idea what she could have eaten that posioned her?

Okay then. most of my Muscovy haven't began to lay until they are 8-9 months old the spring after they hatch. So I think we can say she isn't egg bound. And sorry we didn't realize you weren't in the USA and know it's not that easy to acquire many of the meds we can get, Unless you have access...

I am leaning that way too. I'd still pick up these things at TSC it's very important when you have poultry to be prepared. Yes please keep us updated on how she is doing. http://www.duckdvm.com/condition/botulism

Have you been treating her eyes? a nice saline wash may help but if there is an infection Terramycin eye ointment is best. Your asking me to be a vet. I cannot say what all outward signs your going to see with an egg bound duck, there are some walking like a penguin tail down. Pulsing vent...

Do you notice her uncomfortable? her vent pulsing? I have only had one Muscovy who had egg laying problems. I noticed she was just laying around not moving much so I brought her inside and gave her many long warm soaks in the tub, I didn't know about Calcium gluconate this was many years ago...

Very life-threatening so you need to get the cal glu in her asap,cal glu and warm soaks are the best way to help her besides a vet who would admin the cal glu via shot or IV. and I am not saying for sure this is her issue but here on BYC we have to eliminate instead of diagnose. Her symptoms...

If egg bound she needs a dose of calcium gluconate [TSC carries it in the cattle section,] 1 ml by mouth it helps to get contractions going to move the egg. And will not hurt her even if it isn't an egg problem. Not all birds die from botulism from what I have read. So the fact that she is still...

Place her away from your drake. One female to one drake is disastrous. If her eyes are sore this could very well be what’s going on. As for botulism we have info on treating. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/flushes-for-aiding-in-toxin-removal.700526/ follow these instruction to the...
