I need help and advice for my 4 year old Aylesbury cross duck, who 4 days ago stopped walking? She has not lost appetite, I’ve separated her from the others and she’s on rest. But as soon as I help her and lift her body up to stand, she’ll hold it for a second when I let go, but will drop as soon as I let her go? I’ve read up on botulism today and didn’t think of it as a possibility? Any help will be appreciated, thank you
 
I would suggest making a duck walker for her. Also give her electrolytes and probiatics in her water or try mixing sugar in her water. If she refuses to drink, you may have to force feed her. I also suggest getting VetRX and dropping a few drops of it straight into the throat. VetRx has done wonders for me and many others!
Here is a link for a walker:
