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

I am so not tech savvy

That's okay, glad to hear she ate.

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

Hmm, okay.

You mentioned it maybe being heat related. How hot was it? The electrolytes should help it either way I suppose.

It’s been 100 here with massive smoke. I’m in the middle of 12 fires in Colorado. It was warm. They always had shade, a pool, fresh water and sprinklers. She was playing the the water right before it happened.

Hmmm, okay. I don't have ducks so I'll tag some duck people to see if they can help. @Jenbirdee @ruthhope @Miss Lydia

I would try vitamins like @Themellowyellows suggested if you have some on hand. Did she lay any eggs or poop?

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?

I dont know what was going on with your girl and am glad that she had already started eating again before I was tagged.

No eggs and lameness can mean eggbound. Give 1 ml calcium gluconate daily for up to a week/ until egg is laid. Soak her in bathtub . If she’s not eating, you might have to tube feed her. They go down fast if they don’t eat, but I think you said she has something to eat now?
