Help 4 mon old duck sick!

[duckins]

Snow seems better this morning not 100% but a lot more with it. Im stumped thinking between crested neurological issue or botulism just by what I've been reading with the way her neck was doing. She's eating Cheerios and a few peas Cheerios being her choice not much on her feed. Is there anything more nutriental than Cheerios I wouldn't think overloading her on them would be good but a least she's drinking while eating them.

Can you get her some poultry vitamins to add to her water? and I found the activated charcoal caps at Walmart in the antacid section. did you try mixing a small amount of her feed with some warm water maybe adding some peas and a small amount of cheerios to that just to get her started eating. Glad to hear your seeing some improvement

Gave her nutri drench last night. Just fixed her Boiled egg and mixed with a few more drops of nutri drench she ate it like it was no tomorrow she's shaking off stretching and wagging her bottom seems better. How long should I keep her away from others bc I don't think she would have made it threw night in run she was so spaced out. Looked for charcoal pills early this year to have on hand couldn't find at cvs I'm going to Walmart today I will look threw antacid section read in storeys guide of mixing 1 lb of epsoms to 5 gal of water for toxins but that's a lot of mixing for one duck and read elsewhere it could be harmful but charcoal advice pops up a lot when talking botulism. Will investigate run and yard today all others are doing fine and i ll keep praying.

I forgot you said you had given her ND, Yay for eating more. and hopefully if this was some kind of neurological issue and if so it can happen again almost like a seizure you'll know what to do fast getting her by herself till she completely comes out of it. I'd try taking her back out while you watch to make sure she is fine and can run with the pack. also molasses works to remove toxins it's in the sticky at the top of the duck page. I don't think you'd be seeing improvement though if it was a toxin unless what ever it was she didn't get much of it. I'd still look over the area they stay in though just to rule everything out. So thankful to hear she has improved so much

Happy to report our princess snow feels a lot better. She went out with me this morning for duck duties like she was a queen. She chimed right in with everyone doing her normal duck business as you can see she loves when I clean the pool bc she can drill where I drained

the pool was clean. On a more serious note I believe it was neurological not a 100% but as soon as she was sick she got better the Cheerios mixed in mushy food got her going. Thanks for all the advice sometimes when your frantic you just can't get your brain in gear that's how I was last night just can't say enough how strange it was. Keeping fingers crossed it doesn't happen again. Btw she's back to oh gosh you scare me stay away mode last night I could do or touch her anywhere she was pitiful but never laid down stood in one spot. I picked up charcoal pills at Walmart just in case toxins are ever an issue but they are called charco caps is that the correct pills its for gas and bloating in humans couldn't find any other product. Thanks.
