Wobbly duck

[Diane H]

Hi all,
Having a problem with an Ancona.
She’s wobbly and can’t seem to control her head and legs well. Neurological issue?
Still eating and bathing but looks drunk.
Sound familiar? Any suggestions as to what it might be?
Thanks
D

What does her poop look like?

Sounds kinda like botulism. Is a vet an option? I'd take her to one asap. Sorry about your hen.

I haven’t seen hers specifically. I’ll watch her for a while this morn and see. Are you thinking coccidiosis

What can be done for botulism?

You would have to get an antitoxin from a vet.

Let’s see what her poop looks like. Can you bring her inside? That way you can monitor what she’s eating and drinking and her poops?if she’s having trouble with her neck you sure don’t want her in a pond or pool she could drown
