Flushes for aiding in toxin removal

[Raenh]

Injured her back?

As for laying my scovy's are through laying for the year. So she probably isn't egg bound unless your in southern most states where they tend to lay all year or my friend in Texas hers do. But egg bound takes them pretty quick unless they can pass the egg.

How do you tell if they are egg bound?

My twins are still laying - speedy hasn't started back up yet.

It can take a month before they lay again after being broody.

One of my ducks was displaying botulism symptoms and after the vet said it was something else, I went with that protocol and she ended up dying. I now have another duck that is displaying the same symptoms and would like to try the flushes. Do I do the Epsom Salt Flush first and then follow it with a Molasses flush and if possible, a charcoal slurry or do I only choose one?

She is just limping somewhat right now, which is how her sister's symptoms started. I would like to save her if I can. It broke my heart watching the terror she experienced with the paralysis and of course her death.

Any chance you could take your duck to a different vet?

This is my second vet. Vets who will see ducks are few and far between in the SF Bay ARea. They are also outrageously expensive.

This is very helpful information. When I had a duck that came up ill, this is what saved her. I used the Epsom salt flush.

Hi,

Did you tube the Espom Salt in down her crop or did you just give it to your duck?

Please use these wisely or you'll have another set of problems.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Someone in the neighborhood who was a vet tech and worked with chickens helped me give Fiori a charcoal slurry and she seems much better this morning. She is able to stand and is eating and drinking well. I'll take her to a vet today.

That is great to hear please let us know what the vet says.
