Help sick duck

[iris1309]

We got up this morning and checked on one of our ducks and found that she was very lethargic and acting entirely abnormal to her usual behaviour. she isn't standing and just sitting down. She isn't eating, although has tried a little bit, has drunken water but then proceeded to vomit. Any idea what could be wrong

Your location? Type of housing/bedding? Age of bird? Number of birds?

 

[iris1309]

she has a house that she sleeps in at night that is made with newspaper and hay. she's about 10 months old now. we have two other ducks, one of whom is her brother and the other one an older duck who we've had for several years now.

Tell us about your location/climate. How much ventilation is in the building?

 

[iris1309]

the climate has been pretty up and down lately, so it's been going a lot between cold weather and then really hot weather and back down to cold again. the ventilation in the building is good - at least I think.

she's currently lying down near me trying to rest. she had a bath yesterday and then went to bed after drying off and she was acting as she normally does - she loves to run around and play with people and eats a lot but currently won't stand up and can't eat.

she's also a muskovy as well if that helps any

What are you feeding her?

 

[Pigpye]

Ducks are especially prone to calcium and niacin defiencies , which would interfere with her walking abilities

Also i wpuld suggest doing a thorough look over of her feet and legs especially to ensure there are no injuries
