Duckling is having a hard time pooping

[The Phantom]

my little wood duck is having trouble pooping. She seems to have white stinky stuff coming out and her poop smells bad. Sorta like pasty butt in a chicken.

Is she drinking well?
@casportpony may have a better idea, I don't know much of anything about ducks.

If you have photos of the duck and poop it would be appreciated.

Is she eating well? Either way, try making a soupy mash for her. What medications do you have?

 

[casportpony]

Do you know how to tube feed?

Yes. She is eating plenty. I give them a wet mash food. The mash is around the water dish. They usually take a few bites than take a sip of water. Every day they go for a swim. I’ll have to get some pics when I get home

Do you know how to tube feed?

No. She’s eating very well

No. She’s eating very well

If you knew how to tube I was going to suggest tubing some water and mineral oil.

Ok. What if I gave her a few drops from a syringe?

Giving it orally from a syringe is very dangerous. One drop inhaled could cause lipoid pneumonia and death.

That’s what scares me
