Theres Something Wrong With my Muscovy

[Becca321]

this morning we found MingMing (the duck) laying down in her cage. Usually when I show her food she runs to me, but she just stayed there. I picked her up and her head flopped to the side. I tried to feed her but she didn't really acknowledge the food or water. I tried to support her to stand her up but all her weight was tilting back, like on her tail. If I let go she flops down. She's not responding to anything. Any suggestions? Thanks! -Elijah and Becca

It could be avian botulism. Other people here might have other advice on how to flush the toxins out.

! this is major!, she could have several things! including Duck enteritis otherwise called the DUCK PLAGUE, she could have avian influenza, or even a parasite, i would advise finding an avian vet or even an exotic animal vet immediately!!!!!! she can die if not treated critically soon!
