Please Help! Duck Losing Balance Every Few Days.

Have you felt along her neck to see if you can feel anything out of normal. What has she eaten and does she have plenty of water deep enough to wash her face? You might want to take a look in her mouth too

Have you felt along her neck to see if you can feel anything out of normal. What has she eaten and does she have plenty of water deep enough to wash her face?

Her neck and chest feel squishy. The right side is bulging a bit but I can't feel anything there. She always has a bucket of water deep enough to put her whole neck in and I change it as much as possible.

She's only eaten some oats, barley, peas, cabbage, carrot, turnip-like veggie and flax meal. A little banana for dessert. She didn't finish it though like she usually does.

We’re the vegetables chopped it grated asking because their is always a possibility of pieces of veggies getting stuck. Does she have grit out also

 

[poonamkashib]

Grated mostly. Except for the peas and cabbage. I chop the cabbage very fine and she never has any issues eating it. The peas were whole though. I usually blend it but today I was short on time.

There hasn't been any grit at home for the past few days. I've run out and need to get more.

Do I need to open her mouth and check? She already seems so bothered. She's still struggling to walk and her whole body is drooping.

I’d say she is in need of grit that is the only way they actually eat their food by grinding it up even chopped it is probably still not going to get ground up with our grit . Of course I can only guess since I am not there to see her or examine her but grit is very important.

It's almost 1 in the morning here. I can only go during the day and get some. Is there anything I can do right now to help her out? She's so uncomfortable and I feel terrible.

Can you get tuna in India it’s for indigestion not sure if it would help in this situation but I really don’t know what else you can do at this time of night.

There's nothing open here at this time of night. We don't have any 24/7 stores here. And I don't have any at home.

Here's a photo of her. She looks really sick. I have no idea what to do. She's breathing fast but shallowly. Her legs are at the back stretched out and he wings are drooping. She's not even drinking any water. She keeps moving her head weirdly.

Please tell me there's something I can do. I can't lose her.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Could she be egg bound? I wish I knew what to tell you. Do you have emergency veterinarian hospitals? She really doesn't look well.

 

[casportpony]

Oh no! She looks really sick to me. I really think she needs to see a vet.
