My duck isn’t eating and poops bright green

[casportpony]

I was thinking a blender and some water.

Even with a blender it is very hard to get it thin enough to go through the tube.

I tried mixing water with chicken mash earlier, but she just doesn’t seem interested in it.

By the poop she has been drinking plenty of water. My ducks will be darker green when eating grass...maybe to many peas??

Her poop is a neon green liquid. The best way to describe it is like radioactive poop. I’ve never seen anything like it. Vet said when poop look like that it’s not a good sign. It’s been like that all week. My biggest concern is that the food I’m giving her isn’t getting digested into her system properly. That tends to happen when things shut down. I just wish the vet had a better idea on what specifically was wrong with her. Pneumonia is one thing- but cancer... If it’s cancer I’m simply prolonging the inevitable and it makes me sick thinking about it. But as long as she’s trying, I’m going to keep trying as well. I wish we understood illness in birds better. I don’t know how she could have gotten sick. It doesn’t help that birds tend to hide their illnesses until it’s too late.

So sorry for the bad news
At least you have a answer and you know you couldn’t of prevented or done anything differently.
She’s a lucky ducky to have such great care from someone who clearly loves her.
Spoil her while you can. I just get so emotional. Dangitt!!! Why do we love em SO MUCH!!
God knows the answer to that one. I wish you Peace.

***Warning***Graphic poop pics below***

Below is the most recent poop from Maybelle this evening. It’s more dark green and white. This is the first time it hasn’t had that “neon radioactive-looking green” tint to it and this poop is way more intact. Still no walking/standing. She’s eaten good today- Crickets, mealworms, peas, nightcrawlers, and her tube fed formula. What do you guys think of this poop? I know it’s gross, but its the first poop I’ve seen that wasn’t pure neon green soupy liquid.

It looks a lot better than post number one's poop picture!

@casportpony is our poop expert. Does look more solid.

I didn't see it before, but if it was neon green this is better. Still not close to normal, but it's better, so I think that what you're doing might be working.
