My lovely pet duck is very sick and I have no idea what is wrong. She is 9 maybe 10 year old Abacot Ranger. I found her just standing with her eyes closed and not moving, after half an hour she still hadn't moved. It was as though she was in a trance, I approached her and she still didn't move (unlike her) and then touched her and she still didn't move. Normally she would have run away. I picked her up and she wasn't limp, but didn't move. I couldn't see anything wrong with her, no injuries showing. I put her in the run and the other ducks rushed in and she just fell over. She then started dragging herself along the ground with her beak. I ran to get my husband and when we got back there was a large egg beside her. She has managed to get to the pond a couple of times two days ago, but since then she just sits in the bushes just nodding her head with her eyes closed or squinted, resting her beak on the ground. It is heart breaking to see her our local vet isn't any help at all as he doesn't know anything about ducks. Please can anyone help?
P.S I have three other ducks the same age and they are all fine.
