Mezoti had to be rushed to the vet April 15th because he had severe trouble breathing. He spent 2 nights there and I'm happy to report he is now back home as of this morning. He's still sick, but on the road to recovery.

  • adorable!

  • Thank you! He is our little baby.

  • What's with his panting when he gets his blanket?

  • He pants when he's happy, just like a puppy dog and he wags his tail. He loves his blankie and was happy to have it when he had to spend the night at the hospital in a cage.

  • did u get the test results back??

    (and he seems like a real sweet pea!)

    i also love and raise ducks but I live in minnesota so I cant let myself get overly attached to them because i would have no place to put them in the winter! so i let them fly away when they want to :( which is too soon if you ask me!

  • Yes, he had e.coli in his crop. And since he is small for a male muscovy, he was forced out of his egg by a seagull trying to eat him, dropped the whole egg from 7 feet and it cracked and he fell out. He can't swim forwards either. I guess going through all that his immune system is compromised. He plays with the other ducks outside and I guess he caught it in the pond even though we drain it every week.

  • LOVE is the answer to everything without love 1 has no attachment to anything

  • Unless you want to watch the car ride, zoom to 2:45

  • I know it was an emergency situation, but this duck sholud have been fined for not wearing a seatbelt! ;)

    I hope he is well now, as he is very handsome for a drake.

    Best regards for all your speaking and quacking friends, Kasia!

  • We have a blue pied muskovy drake...and he gets sexually aroused around hand crocheted blankets....they are supposed to hiss and pant because they don't quack. They sound like a truck letting off air brakes.

  • did they give him breathing treatments?

  • please, Kasia, can you say me the test results and what kind of cure ( antibiotics or other ) that your vet gived to Mezoti?? My beloved Quacky is dead after some very similar symptoms, and now my little duckling Flappy - only 4 months!!! - is suffering of this, and my vet don't understand what is this illness..:((((

  • wow he is wagging his tails as if he was a dog :) so adorable!!

  • I'm glad your muscovy duck is feeling much better now :) Is he or she back to normal now?? Since it's been a few months.

  • My Rouen pekin Cayuga mix duckling just died. Same symptom's your Muscovy had here, just realy fast.

  • lol hes like showing you he has his blanket "look!! loook! yes thats my name but LOoook!!!"
