Help. She's been like this for........ 10ish weeks

My goodness, poor duck. I hope you have been able to help her.

I don't mean to be insensitive or anything, but I'm curious for my own personal knowledge and other newbies on the forum--is it really possible that all this could have been caused by drakes? She looks like she's in really, really bad shape. If it is from the drakes beating up on her, how long would it take for her to look like this?

Like how often did you check on this duck before you started to notice the damage that was being done?

Ducks are very hardy and can make it through a lot. give her a chance.

Especially since this duck's been going on like this for 10 weeks and is still alive. If that doesn't prove hardiness, I don't know what else does. Hopefully you can provide enough extra support to get her through this troublesome time, because it seems to me she definitely wants to survive... otherwise how could she have made it this long?

It is from the males MATING over load.

How is she doing?

 

[SternRose]

She's been hiding from the chickens and running in to thinks. Lol. It cleared a little. It like foam on her eyes.

Did you wash it out and give her vitamins?

 

[SternRose]

Havent go shopping going Saturday though. She's been in and out of the pool more offend though. So she's been getting clean.

 

[DUCKOBSESSED]

Thats good. Now that the drakes are gone she should be able to recover if giving time. She will require some extra attention and care. Hope she gets better soon.

 

[SternRose]

Yea, hopefully, she's so sweet.

In my experience ducks who make it through hard times are the ones who give the most affection. I have a duck who was attacked by something through the fence. Around her eye was hurt but she made it and is one of the friendlist sweetest duck i have
