muscovy duckling with no coordination

[CayugaLover]

me either. if she had died when she broke her neck at... i think she was 16 or 15... i wouldn't exist! and i would have no teacher, either! (i'm homeschooled...)

Ha! Me too!

I don't know if the duckling is going to make it through the night. She looked like she was perking up a little earlier, but I just walked out to find her on her back. *sigh* She's not doing well.

I'm sorry, I hope she has improved.

No, she is dying. I just found her lying on her side. She is either too tired or has lost all control of her body. She smells bad, like a dead animal already. She can't lift her head or move her legs at all. Her breathing is very poor. Could this be botulism?

oh im sorry......i don't know what it could be.,,,wish I had all the answers for you.

 

[LaynaDon95]

She's twitching now. Her eyes, neck, legs and wings. I can tell she's not doing it on purpose. What in the world?

 

[LaynaDon95]

She just died. She stretched her head back and just died. RIP little ducky.

I am so sorry LaynaDon, had to be hard to watch so helplessly. We know now what ever it was she is at peace.

We took a peek inside her and found she had a tiny heart and her lungs were covered in little nodules. It looks like she may have developed Aspergillosis, though we aren't sure. Her brain and liver looked normal. She had really thick, nasty poop in her intestines, almost like dark green tar. I noticed she hadn't been pooping much. :\ She had the same little nodules on her intestines, so maybe not Aspergillosis? I have no idea. I'm glad she doesn't hurt anymore, though. Poor girl. I'm going to miss her.
