Health issue of my duck

[Dulzura]

I have a duck , and she is suffering from a health issue since 2 months .
She accidentally quacks loud and behaving like she is scared from some thing but after 2 to 3 minutes she shakes her head badly just like she wants to vomit but she don't . She drinks a lot , she do like that 3 times yesterday.
I m very scared from this

Any way you can get a video of what she is doing here? You’ll have to load it on Vimeo or you tube then copy paste here.

This would help us help you and your duck.

@TwoCrows do you still recommend using olive oil to massage the crop?

@Dulzura you have to be so careful when putting anything down their throats making sure it doesn't go down the wrong hold in the back of their throats. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...dications-to-all-poultry-and-waterfowl.73335/

I have never supported the use of oil in the crop other than mineral oil for impactions. Oil has the tendancy to gum things up, so I try and avoid it.

I would stop with the daily tomatoes. Many of my birds were turning up with sour crops because I was feeding tomatoes every day, lots of diarrhea too. After I cut out the tomatoes, the birds health improved greatly. Tomatoes are quite acidic for the crop which should have a more neutral pH. Just my humble opinion along with observations of my flock.

Thank you, I see you used mineral oil instead of olive oil. @Dulzura can you buy mineral oil in your country?

Yes mineral oil is available in my country.
@Miss Lydia I'm continuously watching her.
Thank you so much for your help .
I will update you.

Is the gripe water helping? Sounds like it should from what you described of what it does. Here is some really good information on crop issues. read this then let us know what you think?
I'd def try a poultry feed again is this a female? does she lay eggs? how old? Maybe try making a soupy mash out of the feed and mixing tomatoes chopped up in it. To try and get her started on reg feed again. But for now read this info and don't worry too much about feeding her if her crop is infected or impacted putting more food in it isn't going to help.
