My duck swallowd string! I need help soon! The vet is not a option because the roads are covered with snow. She's my favorite duck and I really want her to live! I need help as soon as possible. We have been giving her olive oil and she is acting completly normal!
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Pierre.

What type of string was it? A vet is going to tell you that your duck will either digest it enough to break it down (depending on the material), end up with a blockage or pass it whole. With no vet there really isn't too much you can do, but keep her comfortable and watch her poo to see if she passes it (if she starts to pass it you may need to help pull it out). Make sure she has grit available in the event she can digest it and lots of water available. Do not force her to eat/drink and do not try to force her to vomit.

Ok, thank you for your fast replie, it was the kind of string you get on a feed bag ( I really don't know what kind) but it was kinda like a paper meterial. Should I keep her with her friends or separate her.
Re-post your question on the duck forum. You might get more help.
Ok do I just right a new post or...

Can you see the string and is it wrapped around the tongue, or is part of it hanging out of the bill? I am not familiar with ducks, only chickens, so I am going to tag a few others such as @Isaac 0 and @Miss Lydia for help.
 
Here she is!
