sick Khaki Campbell

[leslie harris]

I have a 5 year old Khaki Campbell hen. She has been with me her whole life. I also have 3 other Khaki Campbells and 3 Pekin- all females.
They have access to a 6 acre pasture/woods with an acre pond. I put them up at night in a coop.
I noticed her squeaking some a few weeks ago, but thought it was probably something she ate that was in her throat.
When I went to feed them tonight, she was sitting down away from the gate where all the others were waiting to eat. When I
gave them their food, she just stood there- didn't eat anything (never had this happened to me before in 7 years of duck raising).
She is drinking minimal water, and I noticed she has white foamy diarrhea. Any help with her would be greatly appreciated

Do you know if she is laying? I would place her where you can monitor her eating, drinking and pooping.
What are you feeding your ducks?
Since she has access to pasture and woods and pond could she have eaten something toxic I'll go ahead and give you info on flushes just in case.

Thanks for responding. I separated her for the past 2 days. She did lay an egg each day. She ate a little on day 2 and a little last night- but still not her usual amount. I will try the epson salt flush today and see if she improves- thanks for that info. She walks around and seems normal except for the eating- which I know isn't a good thing. I feed them Nutrena Duck feed.

I went out this morning and one of my pekin girls has an eye infection- yellow discharge. Is there a home remedy for that? I will call my vet in the morning if I need to.

Look up saline rinses online for eye wash. That's a good place to start. Also Terramycin eye ointment is another good thing to use .

My Ancona duckling was not acting right. Would sit down every few steps.
I got Vitamin B 12 and put in their water last night. It really perked the duckling and it's mates. I feed Purina duck feed. I thought it was complete in nourishments.

Is this strictly Vit B12? when most of us have a duckling with issues like not walking, legs bowed etc we use B Complex which has all the B vitamins, and have had great results with it. TSC durvet Liquid B Complex

I think that is what I got at TSC

It's awesome stuff and they really bounce back pretty quickly if caught before it gets bad.

I'm going to have to get my bf to bring some to me when he finally visits in November! It annoys me so much that we don't have a lot of this stuff in Canada. >.<
