duck having runny nose

[Miss Lydia]

They seem to run away and they are not swimming as much and that are very down and not as playful and they

Well they could be sick, is there anyway to take them to a good vet? could also be they are just getting older too and they have different interests. But if they are off their feed and laying around alot except for the hot weather maybe they have a sinus infection, what about their breathing is is labored are they breathing with their bills open. any eye discharge?

I found my little black cayuga duck in my pond and I kept him because he had not mom she died so I found him with a runny nose

They are not as play full not as much swimming and they are eating good food and I make sure they always have water and they have a pool

Any change in behavior is a bad sign and they need to be seen by a vet IMMEDIATELY so that they can prescribe some hard core antibiotics. When a duck starts to lose interest in things like that, it means they're close to death. A duck is a prey animal, and as such are very good at hiding pain or illness. So when they actually start to act sick, it means things are serious.

How long was this going on before you made the thread about it here?
