Worried about my ducks

[Gem Greenberg]

Hi everyone, I’m worried about my ducks. Over the last couple of days two of them seem to have detiriorated, lost weight, looking ill then starting to stagger, and crusty eyes. One died last night and the other is not looking too good today- this is its poo just now. Anyone any ideas what could be wrong? They are free range with a pond, and about 2 years old. Thanks

That looks like signs of infection to me

I agree, that looks very abnormal to me too. Is she eating or drinking, can you take her to a vet?

She is still eating and drinking. Can’t really go to get at the moment due to lockdown. Is there anything I could give her that might help?

Could she have eaten anything in the pond that is toxic? Maybe do a flush
