Bloated or water belly

[Hemmywife]

Peas are hard for ducks to resist! I found that when they are sick they are only willing to eat crumbled food- maybe try this, not eating for 3 days is extremely bad

I tried giving her smashed up crumbles mixed with water and she refuses to eat it. I thought maybe peas would help

If there is a blockage often they can't/won't eat anything at all. Even favorite foods. :-( I would definitely keep offering though.

Journey is moving more today than the last couple of days. She’s drinking plenty of vitamin water along with smashed peas and cucumbers. Here is a picture of her...

Glad to hear she's doing better. I would directly drop the mixture, and vitamins into her mouth . Just be careful not to aspirate her.

My vet told me to use any probiotics made specifically for birds. So I went to Amazon, typed in, "avian probiotics," and alternate between two I found there.

PetAg Bene-Bac https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DGYIC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cP1DFbS23NMV2

HealthyGut Avian Probiotics

They are both powders that I sprinkle on chopped up tomatoes. My ducks gobble it up.

I know other people give human probiotics, or even yogurt, and they are satisfied with the results. But I figure if I'm going to pay my vet thousands every year I might as well do what she says.
