[Jasminej]

Hi I am new to having baby ducks and I just have some questions I think one of my ducks are sick she has clear mucus coming out her nose and I tried giving her water and she’s making weird noises like she’s throwing up and she’s trying to get the mucus out and her eye is red and blood shot and she seems to not be able to move around very much if you have any advice on how I can take care of her please let me know thank you!!

It seems like she’s stuck like that and she can barely move and she makes noise anytime she opens her mouth like the mucus is stuck inside

What could she have swallowed ?
Did you have water provided at all times
They can choke to death if they have feed and no water

Yes there is a bowl of fresh water at all times that gets changed at least 3 times a day!!

To me she looks like she is dying to be honest
Could she be choking on something ?

This posture looks a lot like stargazing to me which is a vitamin E or a B1 deficiency.


What feed is the duckling on?
Do you have a tractor supply or feed store nearby?


A respiratory infection is still possible, if you have antibiotics on hand they could be useful. This looks pretty severe so if a vet is at all possible that would be best.

I don’t think there was anything for her to choke on I think that she just got sick I don’t know if there’s much I can do but I don’t want her to be in pain on her final days

What was she like earlier ?
When did she hatch ?
Can you take pics of your set up ?
