Khaki Wheezing

[DuckyDonna]

Oh poor thing! I'm sure @casportpony will be on soon and she's alway a big help

 

[Miss Lydia]

Maybe a round of antibiotics @casportpony?

 

[casportpony]

I am afraid to suggest anything because I fear that the duck is very sick.

 

[Miss Lydia]

@JonesLaneChickens any chance of taking her to the vet?

I don't have a vet that does birds.

I separated her from the rest of the flock and encouraged her to drink a little. I also gave her some wet food with DE sprinkled on it. I'll see if she makes it through the night. If I find/do a dewormer then I will know which eggs are her's.

through extensive research i think DE is dried powdered snake oil, But thats up for debate i know!

Soo My only thaughts would be to try a reapritory aid cream like vapo rub for kids, A little rubbed under the nares

And Baytrill antibiotic, i realy think she got water in her lungs

Your doing great so far, Keep stress levels and movement minimal if she gets panicking and more out of breath it wont be good

Maybe you could Google "avian vet" or "exotic vet" and the largest city near you and see if one is listed?

Just wanted to give an update.

I separated her last night from the rest of the flock and gave her water and wet food with DE. She's foraging this morning.

So you think what ever was going on is over? That would sure be awesome!!

I don't think it's fully over yet, since she still is breathing hard. But she's actually quacking and drinking and she wasn't doing that yesterday. At least what I saw.

I'm still keeping her separated and monitoring her
