Sneezing Ducks

[Miss Lydia]

To check her throat pick her up and feel along her neck you can also wrap her in a towel if you think looking into her mouth may be a good idea. looks to me she is inside a fenced area, so probably doesn't have access to places where she could have eaten something she shouldn't have. And over heating could be the problem if your having a heat wave. Put her into to tub when she gets out see if she begins to preen, and if she is opening her mouth. I can see her mouth is open but she doesn't look in distress, is she acting like she is in distress? also I have read that spinach isn't good for waterfowl. it blocks the absorption of something I will have to look it up but don't feed them spinach. other greens like kale. Lettuce etc is fine.

Did the liquid run out after she had drank water, which can cause water to run out the nares? other than medical attention I am not sure what else you can do. other than watching her to make sure she can swallow. Does she seem in distress?

please let us know how she is doing? I read your other post too and being in a new place then having their run enlarged can cause stress and is one reason your not seeing eggs, it will take a little time for them to feel at home but once they do you'll see the eggs start to come, and molting will also stop egg production. high heat too.
