    Sick Duck?! Help

    I bought 6 females to add to my flock around a month ago. Around one week ago, one of the ducks started presenting symptoms.

    A Duck with Serious Gape Worm

    Hello! I'm rekindling a thread I created last month. Here's the link to the last thread. I have a Pekin duck with Gape Worm. We pinpointed this when I posted some videos of her panting/gasping after I held her and the lurching of the neck. I know this could be in the Ducks Category, but I'm...

    Duck has labored breathing

    One of my ducks is making a continuous whispy sort of noise and is constantly open her bill to let the sound out. Her whole chest area seems to be heaving. I don't recall that she was breathing like that this afternoon. She's been active all day. I went out to run an errand and then came...
