Emergency

Unfortunately it is our new year and everywhere including vet clinics is closed ..

Where do you live?

 

[Maryam.]

What country are you in @Maryam. can you get hold of some human calcium? you can add some to her water. Is she drinking good eating at all.

Iran. I tried but she's not eating nor drinking. I gave her some water with a syringe.

 

[Miss Lydia]

How about human supplements ? Have any or can you get any? calcium is probably what she needs, since she isn't getting much and laying so many eggs she is depleted it shows up in their legs where they can't walk. If they don't get proper calcium it will get depleted out of their bones.

Do you have any human calcium you can give her?

When does the New Year Holiday end?

I have their special supplement which a vet once gave me it includes calcium too. I add to their water 5times a week. Even today they had it in their water but now she's refusing to drink

As Miss Lydia said, a calcium deficiency could cause this, especially if she has not been eating a balanced diet. Can you get some human calcium?

 

[Miss Lydia]

She looks very weak. Do you have a drake? I would remove her for him for sure right now. Did she lay today?

You can take a dropper or small syringe with out the needle and give her tiny amounts of water with the vitamins right into her bill Never down the throat unless you know where to put it to keep it from going into her lungs. I am thinking she really needs more calcium than is in their vitamins right now to get her built back up. If that is her problem. Of course it could be something else, infection, egg binding, calcium depletion some other sickness. But for a laying duck they really need a good amount of calcium in their diet from laying mash and oyster shell, calcium of other ways.

Yes I wasn't aware then but after that i bought them a special food which was for hen + a vitamin supplement that a vet prescribed for them..
