    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    UPDATE!!! I found the only person on the wildlife registry who takes in birds. He is a very kind man with tons of different birds. It did seem like he had his hands full a bit, so I hope I made the right call..but I was running out of options for them. I would have much preferred a beautiful...

    I found someone to rehab the flying squirrel very quick! Wish I was having that kind of luck with the ducks.

    I have also gone down the list of persons to call and I’m not getting anyone. My call has even been forwarded by a few. This is getting very disheartening.

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    Still searching for help for them. I’m staying with my parents at the moment and my mother is trying so hard to get me to put them back by the lake, I won’t. But there is definitely a lot of stress and tension with this situation. Not to mention, my cat just brought me a baby squirrel. Again...

    I am proud of you too. It’s shocking how it appears so few people care about animals. I do understand it can be stressful and inconvenient, but it is so worth it. And I fully believe it is our duty to look after them. I’m sure the owl made it away safely. glad that lady got her photo op. 😑...

    Thankfully, I definitely do not think they are to the point of euthanasia..so I am trying to find somewhere that will view that as the very last option.

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    Sorry for the picture quality! I was trying to wrangle a toddler and get pics at the same time. I just assumed his was abnormal because the “healthy” duck actually has very watery bowl movements...so now i’m afraid something is going on with her too. I did purchase some duck feed from the local...

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    I am so sorry for your loss! But trust me I am seeing first hand how difficult it is find the proper help, so I hope you are not blaming yourself in the least. There should definitely more readily available resources for all the critters in need. Sad to think i’m literally the only one on this...

    Thank you! I view it as a huge victory as well!! Very proud of this little fighter. I live down south in the literal “sportsman paradise” in the same town as the duck dynasty fellas, so I have this possibly irrational fear that someone would take them in for nefarious reasons. I could totally...

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    okay I was able to get him to eat a little bit and take his antibiotics. His poops are definitely not normal, but that’s to be expected. What are the realities of finding them a new better home? Is that usually a difficult task with ducks? Here are some pics! He’s looking good this morning!

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    It’s okay! Goodmorning and thanks for getting back to me! I rigged up something that seemed to work. He looks much better this morning!!! It’s weird it seems to get worse at night. I’m not sure if he ate or not, but i’m about to go see if I can get him to eat now. And I will be back shortly with...

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    Okay so sorry to be such a bother, but I think I’ve got a sweet little set up for them to hunker down in tonight! I think we may be dealing with a case of botulism here. I am definitely not equipped to give him the full care he deserves, so here’s hoping we are able to find the perfect place for...

    Do you have any advice on a good makeshift enclosure? He is just walking around falling on the concrete. It’s horrible.

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    Well I was able to get them up to my garage...but he is officially seizing pretty bad (I was very gentle so I know it isn’t from fear.) He can’t even stand without falling over at all anymore. I called the only emergency vet that we have and they said they do not care for ducks... I am so afraid...

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    I honestly have just been calling veterinary offices. I feel silly, but I honestly had no idea there were places like this that I could call. I will get in touch with them first thing in the morning. Thank you thank you thank you. I also responded to your other message, but I’m not sure I...

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    Okay awesome!!! I’m finally feeling hopeful about this situation. My neighbor said “ducks just don’t make it long around here” and shrugged it off. I absolutely couldn’t accept this and needed someone with a more positive outlook. They are quite skittish ever since their (i’m assuming) sibling...

    Peking duck rapidly declining in health advice needed

    Thank you Isaac! I feel like I don’t even know where to start. We are in the west Monroe area of Louisiana. I feel absolutely helpless. I have been administering 250mg twice a day. (This is the 3rd day) I’m praying I haven’t made the wrong call on this one, but I felt like I had to act fast and...
