2 Cayuga Girls & 1 Cayuga Drake

She ate, swam & pooped today. Three pieces of gravel came out.

Those three pieces of gravel are the best news!

I sure hope so although the vet wasn’t impressed.

She hasn’t gone to the bathroom since I brought her home nearly five hours ago.

The study mentioned above was human research. The bezoars had formed around fruit pips and other plant matter. Three litres of cola always made a difference and sometimes solved the problem completely: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2682243/
Who knows what cola does to ducks, though?

After I read your first post on this I too have been trying to research ducks & Cola. I’m willing to try just about anything...

I really am grateful for your help & research!!! It means so much to me so THANK YOU!!!

How many ducks do you have?

 

[Kiwibird]

I have 14 at present. Most are young Muscovies, and the first one has just started laying.

Could it be the acid in the cola? I wonder. Might be worth mentioning to the vet? Has she pooped since last night?

I’ll definitely ask about it when we go in later this morning. Yes, she has pooped & here’s a pic so you can see what it looks like. It looks like she went three or four times during the night.

I can't see any grit but that's not saying there isn't any?

Oh my goodness, Lydia, you have your own own Zoo!!! It sounds super FUN but it also sounds like an awful lot of work. Seriously, three ducks may be too much for me. Haha

Nope, no grit.

I use to have more but sadly I am losing my old ones to old age. It is a lot of work but I am retired and this is what makes me enjoy life animals just have a way of doing that.

It's heartache too
