Almost 2 weeks ago I noticed she was laying around the other ducks but not running away from me, so I attributed it to our heat (in central tx) and that she was trying to stay cool in the shade. I've brought her in to make sure she was hydrated, gave her niacin and activated charcoal.. made her some echinacea tea. She can get around and is drinking water but hardly eating (I'm watering down her food to make sure she gets something in her). The other ducks that hatched with her turned out to be drakes, and I've noticed one has been trying to mate with her so I've separated them. I thought maybe he'd hurt her but that wouldn't explain the lack of eating and diarrhea.
My tractor supply couldn't give any kind of advice.
I've never had a sick duck so if there's any advice I'd appreciate it.. otherwise we may be taking her to the vet when they can get us in. Thank you!
