Egluntyne Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 That is the first thing I would consider. Flubenvet isn't licensed for use on ducks in the UK, but in practice, it is the one that many people use with good effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hi she could just be having a moult if she is eating and acting as normal i wouldnt worry to much you could as egluntyne says and try worming her but i only worm my ducks as they get wormed at the same time as my chickens a lot of people dont bother worming ducks when they moult they can go really bold and tatty looking but they soon recover just keep an eye on her as long as she is eating ,drinking and preening herself i would worry about her going in the pond leanne.
