Please help. My peking duck seems to have strayed away from the group.
Shes not eating or drinking or swimming any more.
She just sits all alone she doesnt seem to be in pain or hurt.
I kist dont know what to do. Shes losing weight quite rapidly now too. She 5 months old. Any help on this matter please?

I would say worms If you can take it to a vet. If not and you can get some ivermectin and give it 3to4 drops off the end of the need down it open mouth . this is the ivermectin for cattle Its the kind you inject. I have use it to worm my own flock with good luck But if your bird is to far gone it maybe to late.If it is worms the rest of your flock should be treated also.Any natural remedy i have try our my bird friends have don`t seem to really work. My vet was the one to tell to use the ivermectin because i had on hand.

A good duck vet is best, and not always possible.

Ducks can get infections and hide it till it's very advanced.

Can you tell us more about what they eat, their living arrangement, how many females, how many males?
