My duck for the past week was getting picked on by one of the male ducks. Her neck feathers are gone in patches and noticed she was skinny yet eating. I brought her in to heal but noticed she would eat then spit out her food..I have her her favorite food, lettuce and she ate bits of it. I tried the epsom bath, it helped for the day, flushed her out and she was getting better. This morning I woke up to her laying down to the point where she can't get up today. She can't even stand on her legs without falling. She was doing so good yesterday but today her feathers are all ruffled, laying down and not at all interested in any food or water I offer. I'm so beyond sad because she's my sweet girl. I can't afford to take her to the vet and I just don't feel like she's going to make it....
 
I'm so sorry about your duck, and I'm sorry no one saw this! Did she make it?

I wonder if a drake was messing around with her too much, and even chasing her away from the food?

She did make it and she is doing so much better. I was told to get some rooster booster because of the stress in the coop. She is still sleeping a lot during the day. Her poop is formed now, appetite getting better. The rooster booster is coming tomorrow but will it help her with being less sleepy and will it help build weight? I'm new to the whole rooster booster. It is in liquid form too because she's such a picky eater but loves her water so I thought liquid would fit perfectly for her. Other than not wanting to walk around my h and sleep she is looking so much better because just last week she could barely stand up, she crawled and didn't hardly eat a thing not even her favorite lettuce now she is wanting all the treats. Thank you for responding.

So glad to hear she's improved and doing much better! Keep up everything you're doing for her!
I would think the Rooster Booster would help, it has lots of good stuff in it and won't do any harm. Worth a shot!
