Hello all. I have 2 pekin ducklings that are 5-6 weeks old. They have had diarrhea since I got them at around 1 week old. This might be kind of graphic but the diarrhea is an orangey brown color and smells AWFUL. They do occasionally have a solid poop and sometimes a baby food consistancy poop but the solids are pretty rare. I took them to the vet last Tuesday along with a fecal sample and the vet didn't see anything in the sample so she prescribed 21 days of tribrissen. They have been taking it for 7 days now and there hasn't been any improvement. I would think I should be noticing some improvement by now..part of the problem may be that they are so hard to get the medicine into. They are pills and I crush them and mix them into anything I can get them to eat..they have been onto me lately though lol any ideas on how to get the medicine down would be great too but I mostly wanted opinions on the diarrhea. Thank you!
