If anyone out there has any ideas of what is going on I would love to here them and be forever grateful. This is my baby girl the only one God blessed me with.
Background: She is 3 years old and This all started Oct 2015 When we noticed that she was panting a lot but never could put our finger on what was going on. Until Dec then it hit me that she needed another source of calcium. In the mean time she was becoming egg bound, prolapsing, and having a hard time then in Feb 2016 we finally got her diagnosed with metritis. We started her on Baytril and and Rimadyl. After 2 rounds she started to look better and act like herself. Then in May she started to lay again and they were for the most part okay eggs but then in Sept 2016 something happened. She stopped laying and for 2 weeks. Then she stopped eating and lost weight, feathers started falling out and i had blood drawn to check for cancer everything looked okay. Started on her meds again and in 3 days she pushed out several lash eggs and cysts. Which I got help identifying them here. Thanks to all the lovely and intelligent people here. Then for the next several months days were shorted so less light which played in our favor she would lay probably 2 a week sometimes they were calcified and others they weren't (soft shelled). Which brings us to Jan 2017 Our vet sugjested cystorelion shots to keep her from laying and give her body time to heal.Went back on Baytril And Rimadyl at the end of Jan through middle of Feb. Then switched to minocyclin to see if that might be stronger and help heal her egg gland. Really no change but beginning of March no meds and 2 weeks after cystorelin shot she started pushing again I knew it was another soft shelled egg and sure enough after 10 hours of pushing and 2 soaks she pushed out 2 soft shelled eggs the second busted inside her . Dr put her back on meds to get ahead of infection. And gave her another shot. But for some reason shots arent working aand she is pushing these things out like crazy Which brings me to yesterday..
At 3:30 am she started crying not yelling but gently crying. I went in to see what was wrong and her bill was on fire. Now she had her meds (cefpodoxime & Rimadyl) at 9:00 Pm So this should not of been happening. I picked her up to hold her and her legs were trembling. I ran here lukewarm bath put her in it.got her out was drying her off she started crying again. So i gave her a piece of Rimadyl. and put her back to bed to preen. After a few mins, crying again so I got her out and just laid in the floor till she found a place that she was comfortable. Then Wahlah
Can u believe this A hard shelled egg. First since last Oct. I was so excited her fever was gone and I weighed her she weighed 5.0 The egg weighed 2.4 oz I knew that I was in trouble because she normally weighs 4.14 So there was something else in there.
Just a few mins after she pooped this out
It was sticky like infection. Then she wanted back in bed
So then at 2:00 pm after taking a long bath and eating worms she starts pushing again oh my goodness not even 9 hours later. No way right guess what
This comes out and then the bad news
This smelt like death and it is for sure sign of peritonitis. From then on of course her poop was nasty and smelt bad. Like Parvo illness is the only way I can describe it. I called the company that makes Cystorelin and tried to get some questions answered. But they said that it was designed for cows not ducks so they could not help me. I mean she has had her shot and still these eggs wont stop coming and I think their backing up inside her. What do I do?
Im so lost, tired, wore out, sick, and really scared.
