poorly aylesbury duck

[ryhart]

I have a 12 week old aylesbury duck and just recentley is has been away from the other ducks, which it was once with no matter what, and has not been feeding, just drinking, and then this morning i noticed it was having like a fit of some sort.

It was flapping everywhere with its head flopped down, then the next time i saw it it had flipped onto its back flapping its wings again.

Is there some common or not so common disease or problems young ducks have?

Or can anyone help as a cure for this? any info is greatly welcomed

Thanks

Hiya, sorry I have only just seen this.
I would get this duck to a vet as soon as you possibly can.
Good luck and please keep us posted.

Had the vet look at it and she seems to think it could of been mareks disease, and said the best thing for it would be to have her put down so have done. Thanks anyway

So sorry to hear this, sounds like you did the right thing though. Always very sad to lose them at that age.
