Dead Drake :(
« on: July 27, 2010, 17:03 »
I found my 10 month old drake Oscar dead in his house yesterday morning, still in his sleeping position. I checked his body but he had no signs of anything wrong with him. His brother Darwin (they have been best friends since hatching) refused to come out from hiding behind a shed so I moved him from behind the house (where they had lived together) to where the rest of my gang live so he can atleast hear my other ducks. I've put him in a shed by himself because I'm worried he may have a disease or something and I don't want him passing it on to anyone else.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might of killed him? Or how long I should keep him seperate? I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

so sorry to hear about your drake, however sadly they can just die from a heart problem. i lost an appenzellar a while ago who when I found her looked just like ahe had fallen asleep in the nest box - no sign of illness or injury and we put that down to a heart attack as well  :(
Staffies are softer than you think.
