Hi,
I have an indian runner Duck (Chucky) a little over a year old. Just today he has seemed very lethargic and weak, even spewing up some worms we feed them on occasion as a treat. He has not eaten anything else, though he has drank a lot of water, moreso than usual.
He does seem stooped over, though still walks upright(ish) though not his normal proud, fast self.
He had been going into the chicken pen and eating their food and water, while we had a chicken with a droopy tail, that seemed to have a stuck egg (didn't move for about 5 days, though would eat and drink).
Could the chicken have past this onto Chuck?
I have not seen him do poos for a little while, as I have been keeping clear of him, letting him relax in his pool or under the trampoline, though I have read that white liquid poos are a bad sign... Chucky has done nothing but white liquid poos his entire life (at least 75% of his poos, the rest are solid style) so I am not sure whether its an intestinal blockage.
He seemed different, as he did not chase the kids around when they got home, or even really make a fuss with his quacks when he seen them.
Any ideas?
Thanks
