Back in May, Gus my Indian Runner was diagnosed with Asprigillis. His lower lungs were infected. He made no sound and barely ate. This came on very quickly.
The vet wanted to do weekly x-rays($170.00 each) along with meds.
I am on a fixed income and could not afford this. The vet recommended I put him down. While I was waiting for the paper work and kill shot. Gus wrapped his neck around mine & I heard in my head" Mom if you'll fight I will." So we did. For 6 weeks.
I threw the herbal kitchen sink at him. I powdered oatmeal and added Echinacea, ginger, garlic, papaya, Drench, an herbal blend called Clear Lungs,with enzymes. Put it in a syringe with the end cut off & fed him every 2 hours. Mixed power shots of liquid oregano, olive leaf, ashwaga, and colloidal silver.
After 3 weeks he started squawking very lightly. 4 weeks I let him rejoin the girls. At that time he was trying to copulate,but still weak. But he was eating on his own, and foraging. Soon after his squawks got louder. Weeks 5 & 6 I only gave the power shots, but he was resisting & trying to bite. Which he never does, so sweet, my Gus.
I just got the money to get another x-ray and my Gus is clear. That is why I am so late to post this. BTW we have a new vet, who will work with you & thinks using herbs is good.
So do not despair if your duck is sick. Use common sense, and research. It saved my sweet boy.
