Hello there!
It sounds like you're concerned about your duck, and I’d be happy to help. While ducks are generally hardy, they can face a few health issues that might need attention. Common concerns include injuries, infections, or dietary deficiencies.
First, if you noticed any visible signs of distress, like limping, difficulty breathing, or abnormal droppings, those can indicate an underlying problem. Ducks can hide their symptoms well, so it’s important to look for subtle changes in behavior like lethargy or not eating as much.
At home, make sure your duck is in a clean, safe environment with access to fresh water and a balanced diet. You can check the feet for injuries or bumblefoot, a type of bacterial infection, and feel around the body for any unusual lumps.
Watch out for signs of a serious issue, such as swelling, constant coughing, or an inability to stand. If any of these occur, it’s wise to consult a vet promptly, as they may need immediate treatment.
I recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. This can provide a more accurate assessment of what’s going on and give peace of mind. We’re here to support you and your feathered friend!
Looking forward to helping you more.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
