What’s wrong with my duck?

[Graciepresley]

Does anyone know what could be wrong? I have a duck that has extremely suddenly become unable to walk or control its neck. I picked him up to move him and he has gone almost completely limp but is trying to move. I have no idea what is going on

Sounds like possible toxin something he ate.

How long has he been like this?

Is there anything I can do to help him?

Use one of the flushes I have only used the activated charcoal. If it’s a toxin these flushes will bind to it and remove it from his body. Is he drinking? Your going to want to keep him by himself while treating inside if at all possible so you can keep an eye on him.

I know that cedar chips are toxic. I used them for bedding and almost killed some ducklings that way.
