Duck acting sluggish..has white, milky poops

[austroberta]

I noticed my 2.5 month old Welsh Harlequin duck was acting a bit off later this afternoon. She was fine this morning, but around 4 pm I noticed she wasn't interested in the worms I was trying to give her. Later on I noticed her poop was white and foamy. I gave her some peas, which she nibbled on, but really didn't gobble, which she usually does. She did eat one or 2 worms, but not much. I've been busy today, so I didn't have a chance to see how she was early this afternoon, or what her poop was like. She is drinking. Does anyone have any suggestions about what might be ailing her? Thanks!

Use rooster booster, worked on my duck, even though it’s for chickens.

Possibly too warm?

Are you having a heat wave? Maybe put out a kiddy pool and other containers so she can cool off. If you can get some pics of her and her poop that will help and @casportpony is our poop expert.

She was fine this morning.

Is rooster booster like nutri drench?

She seems fine this morning and is eating and foraging again. I'm not sure what happened yesterday.

Thank God, there's no heat wave. It's in the upper low 70's here.

That’s great temps. I have already heard of folks losing birds to the heat. Glad to hear she is good today.

It was really pleasant yesterday. I'm not sure what was going on, but she seems fine now.

We got our heat wave a few weeks ago and it was terrible for everyone. Ice and frozen peas saved the day!
