does anyone know how my duck died?

as many of you know i lost one of my ducks a couple days ago when i left my animals with someone else for my birthday. i haven’t been able to bury her as i needed a couple days before i could look at her. today i buried her and before i assumed she had choked and that’s how she passed. but when i was looking her over it seemed there was some blood coming from her nose. no wounds but the blood from her nose. is this a symptom of choking? or something else? or just something that happens after they pass.


i’ll insert a picture of what i mean so if you don’t want to see a dead duckling i advise not to look at it if you zoom in on her nose you can see a almost watery bloody liquid coming from her nostrils. not a great picture but she is already buried so i can’t really get a better one

Sorry for your loss!
I am going to imagine that the fluid came sometime after death.

ok that’s what i was assuming but wasn’t sure if it was an indication of a bigger problem, like a virus or something. thank you!
