Can Ducks Catch MG and MS?

[calichicken75]

I have two Muscovy ducks that have been exposed to MG and MS. Are they susceptible to these infections? They show no signs of illness, and incredibly healthy, happy and beautiful.

Yes, I believe they can. You can have a blood test done to check for those, but I can't remember where.

Thank you very much. I love my ducks too much, I am going to have them tested and go from there!

Sounds like a good plan. Keep them out of the chicken area if at all possible. Good luck.
