i got a pekin duckling that was probably a few days old a week ago. so now he is probably a week old. I was giving them more food and water and as he was eating and drinking he would cough and stick out his tongue. he did this for a little bit and then started throwing up. the I realized he was gasping for breath. before I could save him he stopped moving and breathing. he died. I would like to know why did this happen how did this happen and what caused this to happen note : he was pushing a lot of water through his nose you send me a private message here if you need o about further info Edited by Staff
Sorry for the loss. I am not certain what happened here, but if ducklings are allowed to run out of feed or water they sometimes gorge themselves on both and choke to death once it is provided.
