I would get another to hang around with Ginkgo.<br />Check out Puddles thoroughly, we had wildlife go after one of ours and didn't know it until investigating the duck thoroughly.

The most common ...Sorry to hear about the sad news.<br />The most common health problems with ducks are ingestion of toxic or dangerous objects, unsanitary water and injuries. Here is a list of common problems and what to do.<br /><br />Nutritional problems:<br /> If your ducks are displaying health problems but no obvious sign of injury or disease then it may be their diet that is causing problems. Firstly check that they aren\'t eating any poisonous plants. Secondly, you can try changing to a different feed. Thirdly, check their gullet - as ducks scoop up food from the ground they are at risk of picking up unpalatable things like nails which can get stuck in their gullet. This can result in gradual weight loss, lethargy and eventually death. <br /><br />Sounds like a case of SDDS (Sudden Duck Death Syndrome). <br /><br />A shot in the dark, do they have black flies in there area? Any way the black fly can carry a disease that is fatal for ducks. If you have black flies they bite ever worse than the mosquito.<br /><br />If an egg layer, sometimes the egg will fracture and bind.. and that will kill them as well..... and you won't feel an egg above the vent.
