6E4088B0-6D74-472A-BF13-F91F0A17E093.jpeg My year and a half old female black Swedish duck started to get really quiet and she is having these really weird poops. A picture of one of her recent poops is shown above. Their white and rubbery and some liquid comes out of her but the main part is the weird rubbery white part. I don’t know if she’s sick and I’m pretty sure no
Vets near me will take her in to look at her and I’m so scared. I really hope she’s not sick but she’s having these weird poops and she’s being really quiet. Normally when I walk out into the backyard she quacks so loud in excitement, but when I walked out today she was incredibly silent and she was laying down. She can still walk and preen her feathers, but I’m just concerned about her bowel movements. Can someone please help me and give me answers ? I’m really desperate I love her so much and I don’t want anything to happen to her. :( I also don't understand why she's so quiet, it's like she's uncomfterable in some way. It's really scary to see her act so unusual, someone please help me and give me answers. Thank you! :(

Can you post any pictures? Could she be passing egg membranes without a shell, or egg material, or even lash eggs? I would also post on the duck forum under “Forums” at the top of the page.

I uploaded a picture on the post I made just now. And thank you so much for the advice. The poops she is having do kind of look like some egg rubber membrane type of thing, but they're really small. When she poops, some liquid comes out, but there's the weird white thing aswell.

I am not seeing any pictures. Here is a link about salpingitis and lash eggs:

Here is another on posting pictures:

Thank you for the pictures of lash eggs, I thought it could be that but I don't think so anymore. I'll try to get the picture to work. Here's a picture of what she passed on. Hopefully it works/loads.

I would cut it in half and post a pic. It might be some egg material that has become “cooked” in the egg tract. Impacted oviduct or internal laying are common reproductive disorders, as are egg yolk peritonitis.

thank you. is this some kind of sickness that could possible harm or hurt her? she's a really good layer duck and this is the first time I've ever noticed anything like this. I've also noticed that she hasn't been laying any eggs for the past like 3 days, and she usually lays ever 1-2 days. So will it hurt her? Is there a cure?
