I’m wondering if anyone has had this happen to them
My girl was fine this morning. I only have 3 ducks so it’s easy for me to tell what’s going on with each duck
I went out after lunch to give them a treat and she didn’t come running over. I had to help her out of the pond. She felt very stiff. She took about 10 steps and fell over. Her legs went straight out behind her and she tried moving with her wings. I thought maybe my drake had hurt her while mating at first. I brought her in the house and put her in the smaller duck house I have. She was eating and drinking and within a half hour was standing on her feet and walking slowly. I left her in there to get better. At supper I went to check on her and she was standing she took a few steps and collapsed again legs straight out behind her. She was unable to get up. I brought her upstairs and kept her on my lap I noticed her beak and feet felt really hot. I called my breeder to see if she had any ideas. I couldn’t find any injuries
I called the vet and she was tied up with other emergencies so it took a few hours for her to see her. By the time we got there she was panting , really warm , drooling and her body was very stiff. The vet looked her over and thought maybe tetanus as she was so stiff.
she went to get medication and Fluids for her
My duck was laying down but with her head and neck upright. I was rubbing her face and I could feel her getting stiff in the neck. Within minutes she passed away still fully upright
I’m so confused by all of this. Her head and neck never fell over. Her eyes were still open
We are so heartbroken right now.
my other two seem just fine.
