Help!

I don’t know what is wrong with my duck. I have a Peking. She’s been laying runny eggs for months and now she’s very lethargic and she can barely stand now. I’ve gave her a round of antibiotics and now she seems worse. I took her to the vet and they don’t know anything unless I do a bunch of tests which I can’t afford. She’s dying right before my eyes I don’t know what to do

She’s been very thirsty too. What could this ailment be?

Probably a reproduction issue. It might be best to euthanize her humanely so she's not suffering, if the vet's not sure and you're unable to test and get treatment. You don't want her to suffer!

It’s so weird. She’s drinking tons of water and trying to eat and is totally alert. But she seems like she’s not all there. This is sooooo frustrating no one where I live is a duck expert.

Can you explain what you mean by laying runny eggs? Are they shellless?

How long has she been like this? Sounds like she's egg bound or one broke inside. Does she have access to oyster shells? What feed is she on?

Symptoms of an egg-bound duck include
Physical: Swollen abdomen, Visible egg protruding from the vent, Difficulty standing or walking, Straining to lay an egg, and Lethargy and weakness.
Behavioral: Reduced appetite, Sitting on the ground for extended periods, Panting or gasping for breath, Lack of interest in swimming or preening, and May appear fearful or agitated.
Constipation or difficulty defecating, Loss of coordination, and May become unresponsive.

I've never had any of my girls get egg bound. This was what Google came up with for me.
