Help! My duck is sick

[Clucking ada]

Have any of your chickens or other ducks been sick lately?

They’ve all been fine until I noticed Badgie today

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.

Thanks if gator aid gives her

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

Thanks there may be truth in that as all the birds free range and I couldn’t tell you how much feed one bird has

The worry is she doesn’t seem to be eating or very little however she is drinking plenty of water it seems

Best wishes, prayers, and fingers crossed for this sweetie to recover and get healthy again real soon!

She’s adorable great news you were able to get her to the vet. I hope the antibiotic takes care of it.

The vet can show you how to tube feed and @casportpony can give you a video on how to tube feed.

She seems more lethargic than before also her poop is milky looking I hope she pulls through the night or if there’s anything I can do

Did the vet give her fluids? I ask because poop like that usually means dehydration and or infection.
