My duck fell and now has a drooping tail, eating less, and green poop.

Question

I keep a Mandarin duck as a pet in my house. Yesterday, she fell from her perch. A few hours later I noticed that her tail was drooping. She is still eating, but not as much as usual, and her poo has a light green color to it.

I would be slightly concerned that the trauma of the fall may have caused some damge to her back end. I would take her to a vet for a thorough exam to determine if she is in pain or has any nerve damage. Hopefully she is just bruised but she potentially could have a fracture. Keep her calm and comfortable in the mean time.
