I have two 3 week old Cayuga ducklings, I’m new to ducks and the little brat grabbed a nerf dart the kids left on the ground and swallowed it whole before I could do anything.. it’s about 2 21/2 inches long foam dart with a rubbery tip on it. I checked her mouth and throat and it’s gone. I don’t have an avian vet yet, there isn’t one locally and everything’s closed right now anyways. Anyone have any ideas or have this happen? Thanks for any help or suggestions!
 
Well, I don’t know too much about the digestive system, but I know that what goes in must come out. Does she seem to have any issues? Not eating or drinking?

It’s been about 30mins, she’s been drinking, haven’t seen her eat or poop yet. I’m keeping an eye on her though...
 
I will keep an eye on her and see if she needs any “assistance”. I hope she can pass it, i don’t know how long that would take to digest...
 
Hopefully your duckling's gizzard will grind it up sufficiently for it to pass on through. Maybe offer some extra grit and perhaps some olive oil to help lubricate things. :fl
