Help needed...Olive is sick, what am I missing? Also poop pics.

[Runner duck mom]

I sure will, especially if we do end up at the vet and find out any good info that may help someone else in the future.
She was all happy running around with the other ducks when we let them out to clean their pool/ run this afternoon. Just not eating.
Happy to eat some bugs and a few peas...not eating anything out of my hands today though, she's keeping enough distance so I can't grab her and bring her inside again. Haha, I don't blame her one bit

I agree with Miss Lydia. The acid green poo could be infection. Let us know what the vet says...good luck!

The ducks were all up and happy to be let out this morning, Olive was actually the 1st one to come running out of the coop.
Seems to be acting normal and foraging/ moving around but have not seen her eat. Luckily she has a favorite spot, she likes to stand on the rim of their pool for a good part of the day and is hanging out there now. Makes it easier to tell which poop is hers.

Keeping a close eye on her today and picking up some apple cider vinegar to add to their water.

That’s great news!! Hope what ever had her out of sorts has passed now!

@casportpony @Miss Lydia I was just wondering if you can OD a duck on calcium gluconate?

Yes. And you can harm them because too much calcium is hard on the kidneys, even harder on the kidneys if they are not drinking enough water.

wow! I guess I've been lucky so far. Thank you for that valuable infomation!

What would be considered over dose? Every day? If you have an egg bound hen or duck it’s what the vets give to get the egg moving. So we give it to help them get the egg out. Usually only takes a dose or 2

Thank you for all the great information. Olive is still not eating her food but moving around well, foraging and hanging out with the other ducks. The 1st that the vet can see her is Weds evening, I'm hoping she starts eating and feels better before then.
Her poop this morning is clear with white stringy bits in it. Any thoughts on what it could be? Terrible picture since its next to the pool and everything is all wet. It's their pool deck that is green and not her poop (I really need to get out there and pressure wash).

I have never taken so many poop picture in my life, lol.

I watch poop too it call tell you a lot. @casportpony is out poop expert hopefully she’ll see the tag.
