I'm curious to hear if anyone can answer a few questions for me. I have 3 domestic ducks and about 4 days ago one started wheezing, I tried finding a Dr. around the area but none are available. I went to the local feed store and bought some Vet RX and medicated crumbles(Aureomycin) to mix with its feed. The duck is secluded from the 2 others and my 2 week old chicks I am raising. The duck had some discharge from its nostrils that I am able to keep clean with the Vet Rx, along with alittle discharge from the eyes. Shes hasn't been wheezing since I clean her nasal ways but has a little discharge. What does this sound like it could be to anyone. A cold, or is it a respiratory illness. She is eating and drinking but does seem to be either lonely or fatigued. How long should I keep the duck on medicated crumbles and how long should keep her away from the rest of the birds?? I can't chance getting my chickens sick or nor do I want to feed them anything medicated because they are for eating. I'm in the process now of building a separate house for the ducks. Any advice please..
