Hi my name is Emily and I'm having trouble on here posting I have a 2 year old jumbo Peking and his name is duck duck and I think there is something stuck in his throat but I opened up his bill and I didn't see anything he is consistently drinking water and I don't know whether if he's over heated or what I need help

What are Duck Duck symptoms? Does it look like something is stuck in there, is he making odd sounds...

@Emily Davis Have you felt along the outside of his neck starting at the top.
What are the temps where you are? give us an idea of how your set up is for Duck Duck what he eats where he sleeps what he forages on during the day. Has he ever been wormed?

Well I got him 2 weeks ago from a lady that couldn't have them anymore for some reason she was going to give him a to a guy and he was going to cook him and eat him so I said no I will take him and take care of him as my child he is actually an inside duck but during the day he's outside foraging with his friends I don't think he has ate anything in my yard that's bad cuz I'm always consistently checking on him and I felt the top of his neck all the way down to the bottom and there's no lumps there's nothing in there he has never been dewormed I don't think I didn't think Ducks could have that normally he just sits outside with the ladies near my 3 kiddie pools I have five ducks in total I love him a lot about 2 weeks ago or 3 before I got him I had one of my babies died in my arms of a respiratory infection we couldn't take her to the vet because they weren't open on weekends I'm very scared he's still alive right now I'm going to have to take him to the vet I live in Illinois by the way he is 2 years old

Lol! You didn't put one punctuation in this whole paragraph...

I still have no idea why you think something is stuck in his throat. What are his symptoms?

I care more about my animals than punctuation as you probably can see. He is having severe diarrhea and excessive thirst also he is breathing heavy. I am scared to death he is going to die I literally just got an appointment for the vet at 3:30.

Good you got an apt. please let us know what the vets says. Sure hope they can help and it's nothing serious.

He might have a parasite. they gave duck duck a shot to help prevent that also they gave me some endosorb suspension to help stop the diarrhea. I'm glad he's okay plus I got to know that he is 7 pounds

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that, when I separated my ducks from the chicks one of my ducks had diarrhea and was panting none stop within 24 hours the panting had subsided and the diarrhea cleared up soon after. I let them hangout during the day During free range, I can separate them at any point in time. All seem to be better!

And so you know I was just teasing you about the punctuation! Sorry if it was offensive!
