I'm giving her flock riser. She had some leafy greens and an apple slices today. She has improved so much since I made the original post.

When she first became ill she looked in and shape. She was leaning to one side and was walking like she was drunk. And she wasn't standing on both feet but now she is walking straight and standing on both feet. I know this sounds bad but I had her since she was a duckling. My mother in law bought her and 8 other ducklings for me for father's day so I'm a little attached to them and don't want to lose any of them.

I'm glad to hear she's doing better, but can you give her a quick full-body external examination? She has about six flies on her body.

She is a lovely looking duck, I can see why you are attached !

Its great news that she is responding to the additions to her diet - I suspect if you keep up with the new diet, keep her drinking water very clean (splash of acv might help with that) and keep her bed changed, things will continue to improve.

Does she get to swim much ?
