EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP ASAP

[Debbie292d]

I am squeamish to suggest antibiotics to them but maybe that's the best idea.

Since the usual treatment isn't working, maybe an antibiotic will help. Here's one place we can get Baytril online if you want to try that.

Yeah, I was giving her calcium for a week and then stopped and then gave it to her again brought her in for bath and warm soaks, but she still goes off in a corner and pumps. Her tail for a while and her egg that comes out is just a white skin with a tail and then a liquid liquid yoke clear mixed together. I have had another duck well actually twice in the last 12 years duck that died from this problem.

Im so sorry to hear that! I have to tell myself too sometimes that these animals aren't humans and aren't as hardy as we hope.

Do you think Baytril would work for Beaky too?

You have thrown everything I can think of at her, and @Jenbirdee's got a point that it could be an ovaduct infection.

As far as which antibiotic, I checked around. Amoxicillin would work, but Baytril stands out as a better option.

I should warn you that unless you're catching this early, it won't cure her, but will probably buy her some time, if this is an ovaduct infection.

This started this morning. However, the antibiotics wont come until Monday.. Which, might be too late.

You might check around to see if a vet would be willing to give her a hormone implant. Those are very expensive, and many vets will not or may not be allowed to do them. She obviously either has a problem processing the calcium or she has salpingitis, and the best thing to do is to get her to stop laying eggs. An antibiotic may help treat infection, but there is a very long egg withdrawal time, especially with enrofloxacin/Baytril.

Thank you so much for replying. Unfortunately, there are no good vets around me and if they were, I would hate to make her go through such a process. I think she has a probelm processing calcium. Do you think there is anything I can give her?


Update: This morning she drank a little water, but her poops were very small, watery and I saw a little red in one.. Her crop didn't empty last night.

For infection I give my animals colloidal silver which has no withdraw and is not dangerous to you or them. I only buy it from here (for the last 17ish years!)

Here's an excellent newer article by @triciayoung that will help you understand most likely what's going on with Beaky. She covers implants too.

I heard of using this to knock out sour crop, but it actually works for infections too? I admittedly know very little about colloidal silver.
