Hello-
I have a 1 year old female call duck who started having seizures this evening. She was violently flapping and thrashing her whole body, and is going periodically limp. Her eyes seem to go in and out of focus, and would get watery during these moments with the right one being more unfocused. It seems like she loses consciousness in these moments as well.
She also had a dark green poop before her second seizure- I wouldn't say it was diarrhea and was more on the solid side and long/shaped like this: ~
When she calmed down, I gave her some activated charcoal and a syringe of electrolytes orally. She's currently in a tub with bedding and a tshirt in a warm spot and has her eyes closed. Her breathing seems normal and after wiping the crud from her nose (looked like a bit of poop on her nostrils?) outside she hasn't had any discharge/wateriness since. Occasionally she will get up to move to a different spot and stand there a bit wobbly.
She is on mazuri waterfowl maintenance, and is in a shaded mobile coop during the day with her three other duck friends with access to grass and clean water. In the evenings she sleeps in a large feed trough with bedding with her flock with nightly soldier fly larvae as a bedtime snack. (We feed them Wormsfarm brand from Amazon)
The other ducks seem perfectly healthy and alert.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.
/edit/
Also her bedding is pine shavings we get from Agway.
