@FarmerGirl101 I have cleaned everything up already but I'll find a photo that matches what she was pooping. It wasn't always watery, more like a paste. At the end her poop was no longer bright green but smelled like rotten egg, so I believe it was peritonitis. I'll still look around for a photo...
I had given my Tina her last dose of gatorade around 1:00 am and decided to sleep on the couch a couple hours and then get up and tube some food for her, but sadly she slipped away sometime in the next couple hours :hit
I love having ducks so much, and everything I've read about them says they...
@casportpony it does seem that the gatorade is perking her up some. I just gave her her second tube of it. Now I'll do another in a couple hours just to be on the safe side. How long after that should I be able to give her a tube of food? And thank you for your help, btw, I appreciate it so much...
She is very very weak and tired. The back of her neck looks bad because she was a favorite of our drake. I think that's why she was compromised in the first place. None of the others are sick yet and it's been a week and a half, so I figured I'd see something going through the flock by now...
Okay, I did about 40 ml of gatorade, got that down okay. I will wait an hour and do it again. I have to order baytril so it's going to take it probably until Wednesday to get to me...honestly if this tube feed doesn't work, she won't live until Wed. I hope this helps her pull through until then....
She has been drinking water on her own daily, and I have been adding electrolytes in her water every day as well. Do you think I still need to do water first? And do you mean 2-3 ml per 100 grams of her weight?
okay, I think I've found something that will do. Just gonna watch a couple quick youtube videos so I don't mess this up. I've mixed up some of her feed with a few meal worms, probiotics, vitamins, and electrolytes, kelp, flax seed meal, and a tiny plum, with a tad of yogurt and honey and water...
Okay..I will see if I can get some...I live in a very remote area so the nearest place I might be able to get that is an hour away if they carry it. I'm still looking around my house for something too
I can probably get some baytril if I get it delivered here in time...I am trying to find something for a tube feed right now...I have zero tubes and tractor supply had nothing. I have to come up with something quick
Does anyone have any ideas of Baytril dose and any ideas on enticing a sick duck to eat? I cannot get my hands on a tube and only have a syringe... I'm having a tough time with it and don't want to hurt my poor girl
@casportpony Thank you for the insight. Do you have any recommendations on Baytril dosage? She is 4 lbs. And can I get baytril for cats and dogs and give appropriate dose?
I have tried tube feeding but can't seem to find a tube that is gentle enough so for now I am syringe feeding carefully...
