They are poisoned again!!!

I was wondering about that ... Is it that solution to de-chlorinate tap water for fish?

Get them some bottled water to see if you can identify the source. Are they drinking from the same source as you are?

Read some where about "char coal" treating for injested poisoning? You can try searching in the forum or give it some time, the more exprienced will peep in

I have no way of getting chacol right now.

They are having all the signs of being poisoned. I just gave them apple cider vinegar to help it. We are going to get it tested.

Plain water...no fish stuff or ACV. Make sure they have water at all times and don't run out.

Did they run out of water and when you put more this happened?

About 2 weeks ago our ducklings got poisoned they lived but now it's happening again after drinking the water they will just fall over after drinking! Help Here is what they look like after poisoning sometimes they will have a seizure too!

I've seen this before, and it's not typical poisoning, it's some sort of reaction to drinking a bunch of water. I don't know if it's from drinking cold water and them going hypothermic or is it's from them drinking so much water that it dilutes their electrolytes.

The best way to prevent this is to offer warm water and to restrict the amount they consume for about an hour. What I mean by that is give them water and let them drink for a minute or two, remove water, repeat on 15 minutes. Do this until they are no longer guzzling the water.

I think it is the water it happens each time they drink it

Is it happening when you're giving them new water...like they were out and you refilled it?
This is an important question.

I gave them tap water that was treated with fish prime. I do not know the temp of it..

What is fish prime?

Yes it is a de-chlorinate.. Yes they had water all the time.

 

[Magnolia Ducks]

Why are you adding fish prime? And what is it? Could this be the source of your problem?

 

[casportpony]

Yes it is a de-chlorinate.. Yes they had water all the time.

Did they guzzle it?
