Something isn't right with Boss, my Muscovy Drake

[Ducklover77]

If he ate anything that could be turned into a mash when mixed with saliva, he could be choking but since it’s been going on a while probably not. You could take a peek down his throat to be 100% sure, though.

He won't let me get near him unfortunately. I'm going to get a kiddie pool tomorrow and experiment to see if it's maybe the heat. Everyone was in the shade today when he was doing that like they were all concerned for him it was the sweetest. Whats your opinion about trying that?

A think a close up video is a good idea. He wagged his tail when mama an ducklings came into view.

Yes she was concerned about him and all the other Drakes were staying with him as well today. They were all just so sweet.

I see my scovys panting when it’s hot an we don’t even get to 90. They don’t have sweat glands so they pant to cool off. Will he get into a pool or small tub?

Tomorrow morning I'm going to go buy a kiddie pool for them to see if this helps. I don't think they like to go in the pond that much I see them go in for a quick bath in the early morning then they run around until it starts getting hot and then it's lazy time. So tomorrow the experiment will commence and hopefully that's all it is
