Help! My duck is sick

[Miss Lydia]

I see now that I enlarged the pic. That can be from not eating or could be sign of something else. We need poop analysis from @casportpony . How many other ducks with her?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Ducks don’t like change for one thing an she could just be taking the move hard or she maybe sick.

 

[casportpony]

Is a vet an option?

 

[chickens really]

Ducks are tough and give her a few days.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Make sure she stays hydrated. Drinking well and eating @Clucking ada. Some gator aid for hydration or some ACV. If she isn’t better in a few days then unless you can get her to a vet not sure what else you can do other than keep her warm and do the hydration. Runners don’t have much body fat so unless you can place her in warm water bath then dry her after I’d keep her out of water for now. Yes waterfowl are tough but they can still get sick an even die so I def. wouldn’t ignore her symptoms. Please keep us updated on how she is doing. Maybe even some soupy warm water feed might entice her to eat an drink.

The white poop is from drinking lots of water without consuming enough feed. Grass eating and not enough grains. ...Just so you know..

 

[Miss Lydia]

This we can’t be sure of, so don’t take her symptoms lightly I am just encouraging you to keep an eye on how she is doing, making sure she is drinking and eating good even adding some poultry vitamins can help Poultry Nutri drench can help her immune system.

She’s beautiful! Please post a pic of her poop. Any chance she may have gotten into anything toxic?

Thats what I was thinking too!

Thanks everyone! She has seen a vet today who has given us some antibiotics to try if this dosent work she has advised us to get her poop tested for a parasite virul infection. She lives with 2 other ducks, a Cayuga and a Harlequin and shares the garden with 14 chickens also. The vet said she still felt cold and was visibly shaky so she I’ve made her a warm bed in the kitchen we will see how the antibiotics go fingers crossed!

Thanks! The only thing we could think of was if she was drinking from an old pool out the yard with stagnant water maybe
