What’s wrong with my duck?

[Quacking ducks]

I have a 5 year old pekin duck. This morning I picked her up and her belly looked really greenish/blue or even kind of a turquoise color. She does have some issues with her belly… it hangs down and drags on the ground. Any idea what’s wrong with her? Thank you

I have never seen anything like that before @Isaac 0 might know.

Oh gosh I have never seen anything like this
Does she have clean pools to bath in ?
What type of bedding are you using and how often is it cleaned ?

Yes, she has a clean pool to take a bath. I use straw for bedding and I clean it about once a week

The picture is hard to tell
But are her feathers green or are they missing and that’s skin ?

Her feathers are missing there. It’s her skin that is green

Is the bay wet at all ?
Just wondering if she is burning her feathers off with wet bedding
You said she drags her belly on the ground as well ?
I would bath her up then try to keep the area clean and dry
I’m really hoping others will be able to provide more advice on what you can spray on to keep it from infection

Is this after her bath? I'd like to see it clean if it isn't. Let her soak in some warm Epsom salt water . What I have done when I had to soak more than a foot is I used a plastic dish pan filled it with warm Epsom salt water and placed the duck in to soak I put a towel over the top of her body with just the head sticking out that way they can't drink the water which is a laxative too.
