Duck bloated! Won’t walk- Need help

[Miss Lydia]

That really concerns me to.I wish more of the educators would take a look. You could post over In the emergency section too.I wish I could help but this is a first for me. How old is she? And do you know when she laid last?

I posted it in emergency but nothing yet. She’s a year old. No idea the last time she laid. Not sure how I would know who lays the eggs. I have more than 20 ducks. But I guess I will know in the morning since she’s all alone

Anything else I should do for her tonight besides leaving her in the clean crate?

Hows her appetite?
So young to be having this.

In my experience with ducks, the two most prominent causes of hard-like abdominal distention are egg binding and salpingitis. Given her age, I would find the latter to be less likely since it is a reproductive disorder that tends to develop as the bird is in its older years. Abdominal distention due to a reproductive disorder or tumor isn't likely to occur in such a short period either.

Depending on how far the potential egg is in the oviduct tract, it may or may not restrict fecal matter from flowing. If you cannot take her to a vet, I would probably suggest keeping her in a warm, quiet area for now, and consider administering a calcium supplement to help induce passage of the possible egg. Try to keep her hydrated, by offering her electrolytes often throughout the day.
I hope you see improvement soon.

@Isaac 0 Op says her belly is rock hard could that still be egg binding?

Yes, a hard egg in the oviduct will feel hard to the touch.

This duck looks like she might have quite a few eggs in there by the looks of her, if this is what it is.

@Crazy4Fowl can you get to a TSC and pick up some Calcium Gluconate? It will be in the cattle section and pick up a 1ml syringe minus the needle. If she is egg bound this should help her lay the egg. Or if it's too late for TSC do you have any other calcium supplement?

I will have to go to TS tomorrow. I do have this rooster booster stuff from TSC if it will be any help. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...-electrolytes-with-lactobacillus?cm_vc=-10005

I also noticed one of my other ducks have a minor bumblefoot. Anything to prevent future bumblefeet and also to help minor ones go away? Im going to get that spray stuff that may help minor ones.

Between the Vetericyn Plus and the Manna Pro Theracyn, which should I get?

Rooster booster has some electrolytes. I will try that. Her poop seems more watery and less comes out. As well as a strange color
