New ducklings- odd looking neck

[Miss Lydia]

Bless does he seem in distress?

Welcome back to BYC! @swuthrich

No distress! He seems fine!

 

[Miss Lydia]

That’s good. I guess just keep an eye on him! I’d think if he had shaving stuck he’d be in distress trying to get it unlodged like @MasterOfClucker mentioned.

 

[swuthrich]

How do we know if they’re in distress?! Will the shaving eventually break down with enough water?

 

[swuthrich]

He’s far left. It’s like he has a rubber band around his neck but he doesn’t

That’s this am

Only a few drops, they can aspirate very easily. Especially with something lodged in their throat. Is he shaking his head rapidly with his mouth open?. They will also quirk there head in weird ways when they are trying to get something down too.

All of the above.

Labored breathing, Decreased appetite and restlessness. Does the bump feel hard?

Is it acting different? Please elaborate on its condition besides a photo..

Not labored breathing- no decreased appetite- drinks like normal
