That's odd. I have about 4 good stands of Pickerelweed in my pond that must be 3 years old now and nothing has ever eaten them. We have plenty of deer, racoons, possums, snapping turtles, and crawdads too. I have never seen any muskrats at my pond, however. My PW is growing in 6 to 18 inches of water that is right at the bank and would be easily accessible by deer or racoons.
