Thank y'all for your suggestions! Right now we have an antibiotic gel from tractor supply that you can put directly on his eye, and he has an antibiotic form the vet that we give him daily. He seems to be doing a little better. We still cannot tell if the eye is going to be able to be saved or...
One of my ducks (a khaki Campbell) was attacked my a raccoon a few days ago. It got the side of his face and one of his legs. His eye is very infected so we ended up taking him to the vet. They said his foot should heal (right now he is no weight bearing ), but his eye should be removed. As you...
Right now I only have one because the other ducklings were trampled by the mom and dad duck (which is why I brought this one inside), but it is inside with a small pen and heat lamp. I let the duckling swim about 4 times a day, and he has a water bowl in his cage, but it is not big enough to...
Thank y'all very much for the advise, I had babies and mom in at night. This is her first set of babies and she ended up trampling two of the babies (who ended up dying from it :( ) so I had to bring the remaining duckling inside and I am taking care of him to avoid the same happening to him. I...
I have a baby mallard who is about 9 days old. He is seems to breathe very short and quick and he usually has to open his mouth in order to breath, he is a lot less active then he used to be and seems kind of sick. He doesn't chrip much at all anymore and I do not know if this is because he is...
Sorry for the late update but my duck is much better now. He had a permed any wobble and poor coordination but he is able to keep up with the other sucks and is doing great. Thank all y'all for the advice !
I have a mallard who just hatched out four ducklings they are 5 days old and it has been very cold at night (between 20 and 30 degrees) one of the ducklings got out of the nest last night and was dead this morning (I am assuming it's because he got to cold). Should I bring the remaining three...
I have tried everything you have mentioned but he is now seeming to get worse. I have no idea of what it could be from. Thank you so much for your suggestions at least I tried for him.
Thank you very much I got the supply's for the charcoal water a few hours ago. He is a trooper still very drunken walking and wobbly and falling but he is alive still so I am glad and hoping that the activated charcoal water will help him, I'll keep you posted!
His feet and his beak are both cold/roomtemperature, he is inside now and our house is around 70 degrees. We are trying to get him to drink but it is not working out very well, he just does not seem interested. Also we do not have any of that mix, but we do have gatorade would it hurt to try and...
One of my ducks ( a khaki campbell male) has been outside in 90 degree weather all day, he has a pool and a bucket of water but he is walking around the yard and keeps passing out and looks really out of it, he is not looking too good and I do not know what to do? Does anyone have any...
Well I will most likely try and take to the vet. Have you ever taken a duck to the vet before? And do you know about how expensive a visit would be just a general estimate.
I have a 3 week old duckling with a broken leg. It's leg is completely limp. It seems like its broke straight to the top. My boyfriend wants to just leave it outside with the rest of the duckings and let life take its course and see if it lives. Is there anyway I can help him or should I just...
I have mallard duck since he was a week old, he is now almost a year old. He is an inside/outside duck, he is the only one I have but he has a HUGE pen and pool to play in during the day when I am not home and when I am home he is inside with me. A month ago he started this thing were he will...
It is day 23 of my eggs incubating, i only had two. One of them hatched 2 days ago and the other one has had no movement. It is a couple days late so I candled him and saw he now has a detached air cell. is there any chances of him still hatching????
Thank y'all! I put them in an egg carton wrapped them in a towel and put them in the floorboard by the heater. They all seem to be doing fine I just candled them for the last time before lockdown :)
Is it safe to transport my eggs on day 17/18 I will be going to my patents home and won't return till day 22. How can I go about transporting my eggs for an hour drive? Would they be fine in a car for an hour? Please help (:
Okay yeah that would probably be the best idea. This is only my second hatch if I put the eggs in on the morning of Monday the 4 I should expect them to hatch this Sunday correct?
