The Duck Thread

She is pooping fine.
Trust me, she is inside and I'm cleaning in because I don't have duck diapers lol. The poop isn't even abnormal.
I'd be leaning towards the pinched nerve, but would that make her legs bend straight back?

Sea salt can be used as a laxative.
Do u have any probiotics?

She hadn't been pooping originally, but that's not the issue now at least.
Sigh.
Poor girl.

Well if she's still laying then she may be sick. I don't know much about duck illnesses so I'm gonna leave this to people with more experience.

I'm hoping casportpony will jump in here, but, @miss lydia what do you think? High dose of niacin/vitamin b/brewers yeast?? Maybe...

Where do you get the colloidal silver at. Can I pick it up at feed store order online or does it have to be ordered by vet

 

[tracyjg]

Washed baby's in Apple cider vinegar. They love it. Will feel duck pools with it tonight. Just to make sure she is clean may make her feel better.

My ducks randomly stretch out their legs like this.... Is this something to be concerned about? They've been doing it ever since I got them about a week and a half ago and only do it while laying down and awake.

Nope. Just remember the growing pains you had, you slow to mature human.

Yep, that is normal... that's the 'ahhh, I'm so comfy!' relaxing, chilling pose, lol... as long as they pull it up under them and stand up and walk if you disturb them, it's ok...

My ducklings do this also (2 weeks old). It's a little unnerving to walk in and they are like this. Mine quite often will put their head on the ground, they look dead! Scares me to death!! Then when I speak they pop up! Like they are saying "WHAT!?" LOL
