I have a duck doing the same thing. Did you ever find out what it was or what is was that helped?Time for an update, and it's good news! On the outside he seems to be 100% aside from the fact that he has lost so many feathers that he has penguin wings, those little things look like I could have them with some buffalo sauce. They are starting to grow back, thankfully.
I still do not have any real hard evidence what worked, but we have an appointment Tuesday and I should learn more then and possibly may get a few tests done to help narrow it down if it is not clear.
His x rays showed no metal bits in his stomach, though it showed a strange thing near his vent that looked like a necklace from above and a balloon from the side. They will get a second opinion because the are not sure why they are looking at, but fingers crossed it isn't something major.
We are waiting on a lead and zinc test, CBC complete blood count, and a complete chemical panel.
Since my first post (he had been to the vet) he was on the following meds, dosages given for his weight-1.1 kg
Clavamox 1.6mL 2x a day for 20 days, it is an antibiotic/antifungal, broad spectrum
Metacam .8mL 1x a day for 10 days, it is an anti inflammatory/steroid.
Also, upon consulting with the wry neck solution suggested by the boards she gave him a B complex Vitamin injection. He pooped radical yellow for several days.
I had given him Vitamin E and Selenium the first night but did not continue, worrying about mega dosing him unnecessarily.
That is all the info so far, will update with the results of the test! I feel so fortunate to be able to have the $ to get these tests done, hopefully the results will be helpful to others in the future.
