Both, she can use her wings(shes not flapping) but she can move them and she can wiggle them and she can move her head and drink she just cant get up and walk around she can just barley wiggle both of her legs they are both paralyzed-ish

Serious head injuries can cause paralysis in the lower body, and so can botulism. Make sure your Duck gets some electrolytes and water, because deprivation of water and electrolytes could kill her.

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this; it must be so scary. I hope your beautiful girl pulls through.

Dr. Todd :

Is she laying eggs? She may be eggbound.

She just laid an egg FOR THE FIRST TIME! we actaully whatched her push it out, i think she is better i think she was just having troubles not egg bound but just goin hard at it, i think she is ok because she just put one of her feet under her and started to drink A LOT so i think she will be OK, Thank you though for the answers it could have been anything!
