My duck is almost 13 years old and is not eating like he usually does and I am very concerned about him. Today I am going to the pet store and buy him some worms to see if he will eat those, maybe that will make him feel better?
Answers:
Trip to the VET is The answer here. and Ive know domestic pet ducks to live as long as 20 years. each one is different.
Even if its old age you dont want him suffering. He is telling you he is not feeling normal.. You know him well by now if you have had him that long and if you are concerned,, you dont need any o fus out here telling you to get it checked out.. nothing anyone out here says will make you feel better until you do..
so get onit..

It could be something treatable., We have 2 Hybrid mallards and they are family I know how you must feel! :(
Also it could be parasites. Did you know that things like grasshoppers, crickets and eathworms often have parasites and pass them along to animals who eat them?
Do you feed a duck chow?? Purinas layena is the one we like.
I wish you well.. but advise a Vet call if not a trip to one.
Good Luck

the average life span for a domestic duck is around 12 to 15 yrs. So it may be he is nearing his life span, and winter coming may not help this. Maybe he will be ok.
