Duck was fine and all of a sudden collapsed and can’t walk. Please help.

Welsh Harlequin 8 months old was having yard time and looked normal however I think it’s been two days since her last egg normally an every day layer. She is shaking her head, can not walk and putting her legs out behind her. This happened out of nowhere just now. It’s not letting me upload video. I tried to give 1 mo poultry cell but what do I do?

She just vomited. I saw her do this yesterday but it was when she tipped her head down. I am at a loss.

Oh no, that sounds horrible I am so sorry! If you try and get her to stand, does she? How does her crop and abdomen feel?

I'm so sorry to hear that your duck isn't doing well. To upload a video I think you need to upload it to a site like youtube first and then attach it. Could you get a picture? @Eggcessive

Could she have eaten something poisonous?

Feels pretty empty? There are so many feathers.

I am so not tech savvy

I suppose? I haven’t seen anything but maybe wet bedding? I don’t know

Update:
Hit her hard with molasses to detox as we had no charcoal left. 3ml poultry cell and electrolytes. She saw the grit and literally crawled to it and went nuts then the same with the oyster shell. She started looking for food so we gave her a few pellets in water and she started to perk up. Took several wobbly steps but stood pretty solid.
Continuing electrolytes through the night but took everything else. If anyone has any ideas what would make this happen so fast and also see recovery not but improvement that fast as well. I have read so much and I’m baffled unless it is heat related? Or calcium - vitamin deficiency?
I’ll check her crop in a few hours and in the morning again and still don’t feel anything hard in her abdomen

Wow! Im glad she perked up! Good job. Have you dewormed them recently? Maybe try vitamin D, I heard that helps for chickens that have mobility issues.
