Duck with diarrhea

[MegDaphneChuck]

Update***

Silver has been back outside with the rest of the flock and is doing great. We're having a few "mean girl" issues with everyone re-establishing pecking order. She's still being a bit of a prima donna, and reluctantly eating her feed if I don't give her any thawed pease.

I finished administering Panacur to the other flock members, and only one of the other females had some watery diarrhea. The vet recommended Flagyl for 5 days for her as well.

Giardia test eventually came back negative, so we can only assume a GI bacterial infection was the cause of the illness.

Thanks to Issac for the hand-holding.

I am so relieved to find a post of my same issue with a (mostly) positive outcome. My duck booby sounds a lot like your duck who passed. He’s passing bright green diarrhea, was prescribed clovamox by the emergency vet yesterday and refuses to eat. He’s pooping out water faster than he can take it in
I wasn’t recommended any anti-parasite treatments but the vet repeatedly told me they dont really know how to treat exotics (no bird vet in my state is taking patients)

Did panacur help the rest of your flock?
What dosage did you use?
Also, did you give an antifungal with the flagyl?
How long did it take silver to feel like herself?
How often did you tube feed, and where did you find the critical care food?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, I’m just racing to save sweet little Booby
