Duck help! She’s sick!

[ronott1]

Hi and welcome to BYC. Sorry to hear of your woes. I’ve suggested that your thread be moved to the forum where you will receive the best advice.

Good luck

I moved it to the duck forum. If the OP is not helped there, The emergencies thread is another option

That is smart! Right now I have her wrapped in a big blanket in a laundry basket. I will heat up some water bottles for her. I’m starting to think it could possibly be botulism but we will see.

Hopefully it's not as serious as botulism. The vet will probably suggest giving fluids, which I think is a good idea. Hopefully they will check her poop for bacteria, yeast, worms, and protozoa. If they don't, ask them why not. If she's not eating, also ask about tube feeding and askk if they would be willing to show you how.

Hoping she makes a full recovery

We ended up having to put her down... the vet said she had a liver failure with her poop being so lime green, and since she was breathing through her mouth it she was not going to make it much longer... thanks everyone for all your info!
