We have a white crested duck, Cindy Lou Who, who came to us with neurological issues. We got her from Metzers with 10 other ducklings about two years ago. She was very small and shaky and we didn't think she would make it. But she did, and she is now normal size. She has always had a bit of a crooked neck and would fall over on occasion. Though lately, she has been falling over a lot more. Took her to my vet who ran blood and fecal, nothing abnormal there. She was prescribed metacam in case she had some inflammation that was causing this recent bout of falling-overness. But that doesn't seem to be helping much.
So i guess i've been wondering what the long term prognosis is for ducks such as Cindy. From personal experience, can anyone tell me if they tend to get worse over time, or if they live a shorter life than "normal" ducks? i just wish there was something i could do to help her.
