I need help!
I have a call duckling (not yet a week old) with 3 others the same age and it gasps and bubbles every time it drinks. It isn't because of eating too much and getting blocked up because I've been watching it a lot.
Sometimes it has to breathe with its beak open.
It also has one leg that is twisted round to the side - can't stand on the leg but leans on it and hops around. This isn't so big an issue as I have a year old brahma hen with the same issue and she's fine.
I am from the UK so I may not be able to get some of the remedies that are used in the US etc.
Please can I have some advice on what to do as it will be the only and 1st white call duck I have ever had.
