she is very sick and im very scared, shes not very mobile and doesnt care for me to touch her. shes throwing up.

i have a sick momma duck that is actively laying but today i found her in her laying spot much different then normal. she never lets me pick her up but today she did she kept throwing up and wasnt eating but was drinking tons of water. she has since then only pooped once and ate a couple worms. im nervous she isnt going to live through the night although i think thats a stretch i always think worst case scenario. i am going tomorrow to get epsom salt to flush her. but are they signs and symptoms that i should worrry she wont make it through the night over

can someone please help me. my duck is sick and im panixking i dont know what to do she is actinf weird and stuff. i brought her inside and put her in water but she is still being very weird and keeps throwing up.
 
what do i do!!!
What are her symptoms and how long has this been going on? And how is she doing now?
Have you felt her crop yet, ducks can't throw up, so the "throwing up" is likely being caused by some sort of crop issue.
How much is your duck eating and drinking now?

I'm tagging in some, more knowledgeable members hopefully they can help soon and give you some good insight and info on what is or might be wrong with your duck.
