I wouldn’t advise olive oil just get the cal glu it causes contraction and helps the muscle get the egg out. And if it isn’t an egg it will not hurt her.

That is great info - thank you.
This is insane, but our sick duck is engaging in pond activities with her sisters now. All the while heavy breathing and squeaking. She is a crazy duck!

She is beautiful though!, Is she a Golden 300?

She is a Khaki Campbell. They do seem to love posing for the camera.
Do I just give 1 cc of the 23% calcium gluconate solution orally? Should I repeat at any time interval or just give the one dose and wait?

It’s still a great product for all of us with egg layers because it can only help.

Thanks and thank you for the duck compliment! I am going to just attach one close-up photo of her for good measure and here is a video of her from a few minutes ago still exhibiting the full body, heavy open mouth breathing.

I wouldn’t advise it neither.
Except once my duck couldn’t lay for hours and she was hiding in the coop I tried everything she still couldn’t lay. Somebody who owned hen(not a vet) told me to give her a teaspoon of olive oil and she finally laid a BIG egg and somehow it was oily!
