Duck gasping

[Miss Lydia]

Okay well maybe she had a bit of feed stuck in her throat and she got it out. Be safe over there.

A video would help too. Does her abdomen feel hard like she is trying to push an egg out?

Unfortunately, I couldn’t record a video.
Her abdomen was fine.
She hasn’t laid an egg in ages, she just lays some abnormal shell-less egg maybe once a week..

I hope so! I really hope they stay healthy especially at this crazy time.
Thanks, you too!

Do you give her crushed eggshells or oyster shells for calcium?

Yes, they have them available all the time.
We’ve been through so many examinations with the vets and could never understand what exatcly happened to both my ducks. They used to lay since they were 6months until 9months ago. Then suddenly this pattern of laying started..

Have you ever administered Calcium gluconate? Laying deformed eggs repeatedly isn't a very good sign.

I’m glad to hear she’s getting better. Scary! Agree with the others, maybe extra calcium.

I constantly have this fear too, that it might be something more serious.
But the vets did everything, nothing showed in the examinations, just some possible fluids in her abdomen in the Xray. She had high doses of antibiotics, a calcium injection but no changes. The most expert vet finally came to this conclusion that this is her laying pattern now!
Her behaviors are normal, she looks healthy. Except that once a week she lays abnormal egg without yolk and a hard shell Usually like the photo I’m going to attach

That looks like either a turd or a lash egg to me! I wonder if she's got a reproductive infection!

That was our first suspicion, so she had high doses of antibiotics but she kept laying
I took her to different vets, no one could help her..
I will be so relieved if her egg issue solves..
