Hi there,
This is about a very sick 6 month old Muscovey duck who went off her feed. Usually this is fatal for a duck, we've only been able to rescue two of our sick ones. It is hard to make the decision to slaughter but I always do an autopsy. Most of the time it is a stuck egg or unknown. This time was pretty disgusting, her body cavity had a half cup or more of blood in it. Her liver was easily four times normal and her gall bladder was almost the same size as the liver. I would really like to know what you guys and gals think what went wrong. She was a beautiful duck with outstanding feathers.
