My duck

[ricebabyca]

Thank you so much.!! I will go in the morning and get everything you said. I don't give oyster shell or grit but I will get them too. I am going to get the catheter too that casportpony advised, I should have everything tomorrow. I even got some stuff to build there home today and started it too. Where would I get grit and oyster shell??

Feed stores sell oyster shell and grit.

What type of layer crumble are you feeding her?

I got Purina layer crumble and manna pro grit. I also got brookhurst chicken feed. As well as sav a chick probiotics. Vetrx poultry aid. Durvet vitamins and electrolytes. Poultry nutri drench. And manna pro water protector.

My question is how much do I give, how often do I give it and which do I start with. Is it safe to give them at the same time?

Is she still drinking?

I would start with the layer crumble. I would put the grit in a separate bowl for her to eat free choice (she may or may not). I would put the Durvet vitamins and electrolytes in her water once or twice a week. And once a week I would put the probiotics in her water. Just follow directions on the packages for how much to put in a gallon of water.

I don't know what the water protector is.

I was traveling and was not able to really look over everything till now. You have a beautiful, beautiful duck. I do think it is likely she has a stuck egg that is pressing on a nerve. There are other things it could be, like a back injury, an infection or even (I pray not) a tumor. Let's stay positive - I am so impressed with how much you care for her.

Keep giving her extra calcium - I read that Tums has 400 mg of calcium in it - so half a Tums twice a day for a few days may be a good idea. If she is not getting all of the Tums you put on treats, then give a whole Tums twice a day.

Thank you! Yes she is drinking, walking, swimming. she's not as crabby as she has been. She stands all the time now ever since the tums. The first two days were the worst she couldn't stand. Today she walked all by herself from the bathroom to her spot and isn't as trembly. I hope it's nothing that serious either. I love them so much.

And how does her poop look?

Twycross Zoo has posted some symptoms of calcium deficiency/calcium-phosphorus-Vitamin D imbalance and it includes some of the little one's symptoms, here. It may just well be nutritional.

It's in between solid and watery. Should I wait with the nutri drench and vetrx??

 

[Amiga]

I would wait with the NutriDrench and VetRX, yes, at this point.
