Duck neck issue

[chickens really]

Hello. I was thinking Trama also. Hens will try breeding each other too. Last summer I got in a young Drake that could not extend his neck either. I put him in a Plastic tub of warm water and masseaged and extended his neck. In about 4 days he was feeling better. I kept him separate in a hospital pen till he felt better. He now lives at his forever home.
Hope everything goes well with your Duck..

Any word from the vet yet?

Vet scoped down her throat and it was clear, and so was her voice box (which I learned resembles a snail shell). Lungs sound clear, crop is good, no discharge anywhere, and he could extend her neck 60-70% until she started to resist. She's not showing any signs of neurological issues, and can turn her head side to side with no problem. He gave me antibiotic shots to give her twice a day, alternating sides, and an anti-inflammatory shot to give her once a day to cover both infection and physical trauma. She can make a little noise today and extended her neck probably 10-15% while I was cornering her to grab her. I elevated their food so she can eat easily. Whatever it is, I think it's going to clear up in the next few days.

I'm sure the people in he waiting room with their dogs thought I was crazy for paying $76 to fix a duck, but I'd much rather do that than lose one. Thanks for the replies! Hopefully this helps the next person that has a similar issue. Get the duck to the vet!

Thank you for updating.

Just a final update, she slowly started extending her neck more and more by the day and is now totally back to normal. If you ever see this issue, go ahead and get some antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory in the duck as quickly as possible. Hopefully this thread helps someone out in the future because I couldn't find anything with a conclusion that wasn't a dead duck!

Thanks for sharing your findings and experience.

I will certainly be keeping this in mind for the future.

Thank you!
