[LilyS]

I just got home from work and Olive is swaying not able to hold her balance. She's not quaking or standing up right all the way. I'm not sure what could have happened or what could be wrong. Help!

Can you give some more info? Age, whether she’s laying, if she’s bleeding or injured, what the temp is, what she’s been eating, whether others are showing symptoms?

She's 9 weeks old. She was fine this morning when I left at 7. I let her and Grady out with the chickens. I give them a treat and water everyday before I leave.
She's not laying eggs that I know of. She's our only duck. No one else seems sick or injured. They normally just free range all day and she is normally eating 24/7. She eats all kinds of stuff and normally is walking around with goo hanging from her beak from mud and slugs. I pull it off with my hand. Her beak also feels dry but I'm not sure if that's also normal? I removed all the fox glove that was on our property. Im not sure what it could be.

It's 64 outside here. We are off the coast in Oregon.

Hi, Lily, I think I helped you with your goose a few months ago. Sorry to hear you're having problems with your duck.

The first thing we want to do is bring the duck into a location that's quiet, stressful free, warm since most sick birds tend to be hypothermic, and towel-lined so you can better monitor her feces. Getting a quick weight check on her would be good, so you are able to tell if she'll require fluids/feed or not in the next couple of days if her condition worsens.

Could you upload a video of her stumbling around to a video platform like Youtube or Vimeo, and copy/paste the link here?

If she is producing droppings, could you post a picture of that also?

Is there a chance she may have ingested something toxic besides the Foxglove?

 

[LilyS]

Yes yes and yes! Let me get her settled and get a video. Thank you so much!

not sure what my video post means but hopefully I did all that right! Ty so much all of you! I weighed her and she is in my bathroom in a bin.

Well i was up with her all night. She started eating around midnight. Now she's fine. Raising hell and all. Im not sure what was wrong but there was something definitely wrong. I probably need to start looking for a vet for her and Grady just in case.
Now that I've figured out how to do a video let's sex Grady!!
