I’m new to the duck scene. Need some advice please.

Does she have a good place to swim? Ducks can get sick of they’re not swimming every day. I hope she gets better!

Since we’re in winter my ducks/ geese don’t get to swim daily and they don’t get sick. If this duck is sick swimming isn’t that important as long as she is being kept clean. Better she doesn’t get a chance to chill. Keeping her face clean by dunking her head is very important though.

I have her out in the backyard right now. I emptied her pool earlier, but she walked straight to it. It’s 63 degrees here and I don’t want her to catch a chill. Kinda hoping the sunlight will make her feel better. She just took a poop in the driveway. Here’s a picture. She’s still not eating anything. She’s had 120 cc’s so far today. 3:1 pedialyte and exact. How longs does it take for the baytril to work?

Why is it milky looking?

That I can’t say I am hoping @casportpony will be here soon. How many doses of Baytril has she had?

After three full days, I expect to see some improvement, but occasionally it takes longer.

Correct

Most recent poop. It was pretty firm. She’s had 180cc’s of food today. I may have found another vet pretty close that has seen exotic birds. I’ll call them tomorrow morning to confirm. She’s not getting worse at this time but she’s not making major improvements either. No quacking, no eating, and not very much moving around still.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Sure hope you can get an apt.
