Muscovy Duck poop

[AmyP716]

Help my Muscovy duck has been acting strange, not with the flock and hiding. So I brought her in the house and noticed she is pooping bright green watery poop. I think she is sick or something. Anyone know what might be wrong and how to treat this. Picture is the poop.

This is concerning. What behaviors is she exhibiting?
Is she eating or drinking?

 

[AmyP716]

She is not really eating or drinking but otherwise seems fine. I’m going to take her back outside and see if then she will eat or drink for me. She doesn’t like it in my basement.

I know ducks don't like change, but that is indicative of the kidneys not working properly.

This site has some really good info. If you click on the poop section it states:

Duck droppings tend to be much runnier than chicken droppings, but like chicken droppings, duck droppings can look quite diverse. If they’re poorly formed, pasty, watery, strong smelling, black, bloody, yellow, neon green, or foamy, it could be a sign of parasites, illness, or improper nutrition. If you’re particularly concerned by a dropping, you can bring it into your veterinarian for a fecal float test for analysis, though you should consider fecal testing healthy-seeming birds once every three months to check for internal parasites.

That poop does look concerning. Any chance of a vet?
Is she laying eggs?

 

[AmyP716]

She hasn’t started laying yet. I have some antibiotics I’m putting in her water now and then will see if she drinks it.

 

[AmyP716]

Ok so she is back outside but separated from the others. And seems to be having a hard time walking now.

 

[AmyP716]

But she is drinking

 

[Crazy Maizie]

She's going to separate because she isn't well and they have to hide their illness so the others don't pick on her. I'd seek out a vet.
