Sick Muscovy

[Daphne_loves_mealworms]

She’s sick again, and it came on very suddenly and has hit her very very hard. She’s the nicest most beautiful Muscovy, and she doesn’t deserve this. I gave her Meloxicam and calcium tonight as it is all I can do for now. I wish her sister wasn’t being a broody brat as she deserves to have her sister by her side. At least the Rouens are there with her. I didn’t bring her in the house, as it would cause her more stress. I do not expect her to survive this time

Oh no... What are her symptoms?

I am so sorry to hear this. I pray that she pulls through. Keep us posted if you can.

I am so sorry to hear this. Do you think it's the same as last time?
I will be praying for her and you. It's hard on us all

Thank you all for your support! Goon 2 sadly passed away this morning. Yesterday morning, she was just a bit off, but still able to forage some, and I started looking at available vet appointments. Last night, when I got home from work, she was very lethargic, and her abdomen was swollen. She had no interest in food, and the light in her eyes was gone. The last two times this happened, she clearly still wanted to fight. Last night, it was clear that she was done fighting. I gave her Meloxicam and calcium, and she appeared more comfortable when I left for work, although it was clear the end was near. My husband made a nice nest for her in the duckio, and she passed peacefully mid-morning.

I’m quite sure she had EYP, caused by some internal structural problem, a tumor or something similar that caused her to lay internally. I thought about doing a necropsy, but decided against it. We laid her to rest deep in the woods under a big tree, near where she took her great adventure a couple of years ago.

She fought so hard to survive this summer, but is now at rest. At least she enjoyed the nice weather and passed before her least favorite season!

Anyways, thank you all again so much for your support. It really has meant the world to me.

I'm sorry to hear this. Poor thing. I'm glad she was snug and loved at the end. My heartfelt condolences to you.

I am so sorry that you lost her. She was absolutely beautiful. I am thankful that she will not suffer any longer. You are in my prayers. It's so hard to say good-bye. They capture our hearts in a way that people that have never had ducks will never understand. Thanks for letting us know.
