I would think so, actually. And maybe lay off of the nutritional yeast for a bit at the same time.

I don't know what nutritional yeast is actually in as they only get Purina duckling starter. They are only 4 and 5 weeks old but also get a bit of regular duck food as I am weaning them off of the starter. By the time I got home from work their mouths were just fine so I don't know what I was actually seeing. Thanks for your help.

i think you can give some monistat or clotrimazole?

Thanks, they are only 4 and 5 weeks old and now they are just fine from doing nothing. Not sure what was the cause but after checking their mouths and throats I see absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. I had neither of those antibiotics so I am glad it left whatever it was. I appreciated your comment though, thanks again.

Anyone hear from @WannaBeHillBilly ?

No, I was wondering about him also. He said that he was good from the storm thank heavens so hopefully just busy building that new duck house for his ducks.

yes yes/ i know it sounds weird. it is commonly used for sour crop in chickens. there are articles about it in the learning center. I keep some in my poultry first aid kit. I believe @Miss Lydia mentioned she has used it for a duck as well.?

Hi everyone not sure how long I’ll be able to stay on it’s a miracle actually we still have no power and really no cell service but some how I am able to text my daughter off an on in Atlanta GA and am able to get here which I wasn’t able to do a few hrs ago.
First I want to say how sorry I am to hear about Poppy passing @Jenbirdee she was such a precious little one.
We’re all okay no damage to our home and it’s a miracle so many trees uprooted and fell but only one hit our barn and doesn’t look like but just alimb hit the barn roof. The river of my gosh never have we seen anything like this and we’ve been through a lot here in these mountains since 1995. Our dirt road is not possible no telling when we’ll be able to get out without walking. Our neighbors past us got hit really hard and sad part is the mud slides make it impossible to get back to their cabins. These are Florida folks who have cabins here one couple was here when this hit they managed to walk out Sat sinking down in mud up to their knees and spent the night with us last night they probably won’t be able to use their cabin again or the cabin down from them and we cannot get hold of those folks since we haven’t cell or internet. Honestly I don’t know how I am here. And I might not get back after this. But wanted y’all to know we’re okay and I hope to be back soon. The National Guard is here helping with rescues and sad to say but looking for the dead. They are saying this is the 1000 yr flood of bibical proportions I believe it.
All my flock made it through and it was business as usual with them we did lose a lot of our fencing so we’ll have to see about getting that back eventually .
It made my heart feel so good reading about y’all missing me. Thank you

So glad you and yours are doing ok!

Thank you! I can get online this morning on my phone what a blessing to be able to text and be part of the world again for how ever long it lasts. Not much has changed they have no idea when we will get power back so many sub stations hurt from the amount of rain and our power pole is across the river laying on the side of the mountain. But we’re using our generator which has helped to keep our food from going bad we turn it on 3 x a day for about 3 hrs. All my flock is doing good so I am very thankful for that. Anyway just wanted to update and say hello. Hope all of you are doing well along with your animals.
