My duck Mabel (Silver Appleyard, 1 year 5 months) seems to be having seizures. She had her first one about 2 months ago, and her second one 3 weeks ago. She seems to be having one now.
Symptoms - Shaking head, chattering bill, stiff legs, hot bill, refusal of food/drink, slouched wings, heavy blinking, and stiff body.
Help + advice would be appreciated!
 
Sorry about Mabel anyway you can take her to a vet?whatdo you feed her ? What vitamins etc do you have?any injuries lately bumped on the head

I hope to take her to the vet once it opens back up (it's closed for weekends)
I feed Mabel home fresh poultry feed (blue seal)
I don't feed her vitamins, but she gets out to forage often, and I give her treats of leaves and bugs if she doesn't get to go out for a while
I don't think that she's had a head injury lately
thanks for your response!
 
I unfortunately lost one at 5 weeks and she had the most violent seizures. Total loss of controlled movements and would thrash around. The vet I took her to suspected she had gotten into something toxic, maybe lead. Be thinking about possible things your duck could have eaten by accident. Hardware disease, toxic plants, poisonous chemicals, etc.
