[Miaolivrr25]

My ducklings where eating their food and 2 of them started foaming at the mouth and kept shaking their heads. I’m scared and need help.

hi, can you get photos of their mouths "foaming"? Or perhaps post a video of it onto youtube or something similar and then link it here?
Do you feed wet or dry food, and do they have water nearby?

Maybe they’re just eating too fast and need water

The foaming stopped and I think one of them is ok. The other duckling is acting weird. They are walking weird. Should I be concerned?

They have water and they where eating dry food.

They have water and they where eating dry food.

as long as they have water close by they should be okay. Do they have 24/7 access to food and water? How old are they?

Okay that's good. Can you describe how the other one is walking- are their toes pointed inwards, are they wobbly, are they holding their neck close to their body?
I think they most likely just ate too much too fast

They have access to their food and water 24/7. And they are about 2 weeks old.

Their feet is pointed inward and their head is close to their body. They are also wobbly. They are also standing still.

I'm sure this has been and continues to be very scary. I'm sorry. Hopefully all will be fine. How old are these ducklings? What kind of feed are they eating? Did anyone pick them up/handle the ducklings recently?
