I have a 3 year old Indian runner duck and she was tossing her head back and forth while opening and closing her eyes. Her legs and wings were not injured but she could not walk without stumbling. Her wings were droopy and her body was twitching. I found her like that this morning and it lasted for about an hour and a half, but than she snapped out of it and started walking normally and eating. I am going to continue watching her to see if it happens again. Does anyone know what was wrong with my duck? Was it something neurological?
Thanks!
 
Hello, if you have a picture it would help, but I think your duck might have wry neck. I have a site here that can help you. http://www.poultrydvm.com/condition/wry-neck
I hope this helps!
Thank you so much for replying!
She seems to be back to her normal self now, but I don't understand what it was that caused those symptoms. I don't think its wry neck.
