Hi,
I haven’t posted in a while, I was so busy with the exams and deadlines.
I’ve been recently concerned about Cookie and Daisy. I figured Cookie is losing weight while she’s eating normal and thankfully she’s not laying any egg( just those abnorml eggs rarely), her wings’ feather doesn’t look so good and she’s kinda molting I guess for a 3rd or 4th time since spring! On the other hand, Daisy looks depressed, Her nostrils are blocked most of the day but her weight is fine! Her weight was so important for me Especially after the surgery she had a few months ago. She doesn’t lay eggs since then which I have no complains.
But a few days ago I found something odd, the feathers around her vent was messy when I had a colser look it was dried with poop! Which is odd, I’ve never seen an adult duck or hen like this. I mean they always clean that area. I washed it in an epsom salt bath. I figured her poop is diarrhetic and white-ish and then I checked cookie’s poop and she had diarrhoea and her poop is too smelly.
First I had a guess that its bacterial infection so I added doxy to their water for three days mixed with AD3E(I wasn’t sure if it is infection). And today I added levamisole to their water in case it’s worms. Are the worms visible in their poops? Cause I’ve never seen worms in their poops but I use dewormer for them every 6months anyway.
I would like to ask about your thoughts
