    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    It's weird how one Cauyga and one Rouen got it..they really don't hang out a lot. The cayuga hangs out more with our Pekin female, and she's okay. The Rouen (Rou) is all clear- I guess we caught her in time. She is back out with the others (all waters have antibiotics and...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    Motley is doing good, but now another duck is sick: Rou the Rouen female.... Went outside to check on them, and noticed she was having a hard time breathing and her nose was clogged with dirt. Put her in the bath for 1/2 hour, dirt got out, but she was still breathing funny. So now she is in...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    It sounds like you are doing everything you can for her, but sometime there is a psychological factor that can have a big impact on their recovery. Sometimes ducks pine away from loneliness when they are separated from their loved ones. It is very stressful for a duck to be alone. Is there a...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    Motley is doing better, her eye is 90% cleared of the goop. She still have the breathing problems now and then. She has to be isolated until next Tuesday because we have to keep giving her the meds and stuff. The only thing is... she won't eat her feed. I've been fixing her cooked and raw...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    Oh I wish we had vets down here like you described!!!! These guys down here charge WAY TOO MUCH or they're the "livestock "vet, and they will treat not only horses, but cattle as well. Motley is doing better- she just swam in the tub for about 1/2 hour, she will get another bath before bed...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    So we got the antibiotics and the vitamins (they only had the vitamin/electrolyte package), and I put them in her water. She has been eating corn, peas, carrots, cucumbers, celery and a little bit of cat food (made with meat and veggies). I also put the saline in both her eyes, and she didn't...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    My horse vet WILL NOT prescribe anything UNLESS she comes out on the property.......that's a $60 trip charge...... I called her up to see if she would prescribe something for my horse and she said she wouldn't unless she came out and evaluated the horse (although she already knew he had the...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    let her take longer baths... My ducks get to be in the tub for over an hour everyday, and that will give her plenty of time to flush out her bill/eye. They make an antibiotic ointment you can put on the eye, but the name is escaping me, starts with a t.... Saline will not hurt her, but it...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    I don't have enough experience to help, but I sure hope she gets better. What a shame the vet wouldn't work with you Thanks so much- we appreciate the thoughts and support. I know, I wish vets would understand that it is hard for some people to fork up a lot of money all at once. I let...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    Is she able to submerge her head and flush her own sinuses where she is now? I think I'm going to fill the bathtub up with some warm water and let her do her thing...I helped her earlier this morning, so maybe this will help it for the night. I do have some saline in the barn, I will grab...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    Where can I get oxide? And can I use ProBios (the kind you can get at Tractor Supply, in a powder form) for probiotics? If so, I can probably get those tomorrow.... Also for her eye, the "goop" has come back and her eye is shut, but she has opened it. Loving celery and water..... Can I use a...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    I did ask the vet's office if they would take $$ payments (because I can do that, as I get horseback riding lesson money each week), but they denied that, so....... She has been drinking A LOT of water, her appetite has come back a little (she is eating some feed right now as I type), and I...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    Well, we tried to see the vet today. The CareCredit application was denied, so we had to leave the vet's office.... I cried all the way home apologizing to her. She is being very quiet. I just tried to give her some celery, and she didn't want it.

    Awww, Nurse Lardo. Be careful, he may demand extra cat kibble for her services. Glad to hear about your duck. She's cute. LOL thanks! Yeah, I think he will get some treats later when I get back from the vet's. Could be a mating injury. Grabbing the eye is classic. I also read that...

    Help! Duck with eye shut and funny breathing :(

    Thanks for all your help rainplace. Her eye is much better, just the breathing that I'm worried about. Told the receptionist everything. She wasn't too interested in feed earlier so I gave her some celery, which is her favorite, and she ate it
