YES!! did you read the info I gave you/ here's an exert from it.
I had nothing to lose since the duck could barely breathe, so I tried it. I used a Tri-Jet fogger and a solution of 6-1/2 ounces of Oxine to a gallon of water as prescribed, and I ‘fogged’ the bird’s face and cage three times daily for ten days. She was cured.

This is plain Oxine ah not using the citric acid. and I use a reg garden hand held sprayer, It has different mists if you turn the head. I think it was probably 2-3 dollars. I usually spray mine after they go into bed of an evening. If your duck has any kind of respiratory problem and none of your other ducks are showing symptoms then most likely it's not contagious,
It would be worth trying the Oxine ah until you can get that vet apt. This person says 3X a day if you can do it that often then do it. I also use Oxine when I go to anyones home that has poultry or when I use to go to shows, I'd spray my clothes and shoes before going home then go straight into the house and change. I've even sprayed my cars tires when I went to a persons home who had chickens. I also spray it on my hands if I happen to get poo on them when cleaning.

Now she tried eating crumble food and about choked. Shaking head crazy and gasped. What is going on,im so worried,i cant even eat

 

[kari1981]

It seems like she has something wrong with her throat for sure. Since she tried eating the crumbles with just a few bites and then nearly choked tells me there is something really wrong in her throat. But what? All these new symptoms just happened so fast..I research but these symptoms match up to multiple things. Could it be gapeworm? Does gapeworm progress overtime? Should I buy Ivermec tomorrow and use it? The vet has no openings and tylan is doing no good. I pray they have an opening come monday.

Maybe her throat is clogging up. Maybe there is something to clear it up in there.

I used Epernix pour on with my rooster basically same as Ivermec treated him 2X he died, get SafeGuard either liquid or paste and give that to her this is the one , Since your only doing her I'd get the paste. Much easier to give with just one. It will kill gape worms, if you have someone to help you they can hold and you can take a qtip and swab her throart you'll get gape worms if they are there. Make her feed like gruel for now liquid will go down easier.

The vet has emailed me and said to come in first thing this morning and they will squeeze her in. So getting ready soon to load her in the car. I live in country so im 35miles to Peoria. Hope she will be ok for the ride. i dont know what all i can get done since I dont have much money at all and this place dont allow payment plans :-( i cant get approved for care credit neither. I will give a update when I find out things from vet. Thank you so much for giving lots of advice. I love this website.

I'm relieved they are working you in, There is always barter maybe you can volunteer to do somethings around their clinic to pay it off, along with fresh duck eggs. just a thought.

Hoping it's nothing serious.

Well vet thinks MG or parasites or just respiratory problem. Pebbles was so afraid in the car ride that i thought she was gonna have a heart attack. We made it home and shes happy back with her friends. She sounded very very congested at the vet office tho, like gurggles in chest. She never sounded like that at home. Must be from being afraid and agravated it? Anyway. She sent me home with doxcycline 150mg twice a day. The fecal test will be in monday or tues and not starting panacur till the results. They said her sinuses look inflamed and eyelids a little red. Also recommended me bringing her inside out of the cold. If i do that then i will have to put a friend inside with her or she will get to stressed. Anybody use doxycyline before

It's on my med chart says it's for mycloplasmosis and respiratory infections. I have never used it. I'd still mist her with Oxine ah too, can't hurt. If you have room for 2 it may make it easier on her than isolated. Did she show you how to administer the meds?
