Hey sorry for the late reply. For some reason my notifications all went to junk mail. He’s doing awesome! Starting to eat by himself and his neck looks like it’s almost fully healed. He’s super curious about everything but he has trouble eating by himself due to his right eye not opening. I’m...
Hey guys. Been a little busy that I forgot to update. I’ve been tube feeding him twice a day to get 70ml total and he’s doing awesome! Just yesterday he hopped out of his bed and pooped all over the house haha. His neck seems to be improving slowly as he’s able to reach for things with his neck...
So he just took a big poo so I tube fed him 28ml of food. Just that little bit of Gatorade really gave him energy lol. He fought back even more. My rubber tube is curved so that made it easier to make sure the tube went down the right hole. Will update tomorrow morning
Thanks for letting me know. So I followed the tutorial and gave him Gatorade. 30ml. Poor guy was so scared. Thank gosh it’s over lol. I’m going to wait a few hours and come back to feed him with food if he poos
Yeah I did have help from my parents. Just a bit worried. Let me try wrapping him up in a towel. Also I will be home for 3 days straight so I’ll make sure he has plenty of food. Since he’s lost so much food, would it be ok to over feed him a little bit?
Hi so I just tried to tube feed him but failed because he was fighting so much. Is there any way to calm him down? I try to open his bill and he will instantly pull his neck back stronger each time.
Thank you. I’ll need the luck ☺️ I just hope he will be okay by the time I get home from school to tube feed him. And I have a test tomorrow. So stressful 😕 I definitely would stay home to take care of him but obviously my parents wouldn’t allow that
I just weighed him but it says he’s 0 pounds. I think my scale may just be faulty. I don’t think I’ll be able to tube feed him today but I definitely will give it a shot tomorrow. I try to use the syringe to squirt food into his mouth but he would fight it.
Let me see if I can at least get some food in him right now. I’ve got no one to help me tube feed him right now. I was able to feed him I think 70ml in the span of 3 days. hopefully that helped
Yes I was outside with him and his buddy for about an hour today. He walked around for a bit and looked around but didn’t eat but did drink a bit. Do you think he can go another night without food. I don’t want to try and force him by opening his bill again. He doesn’t like it at all ☹️
Hey guys so quick update. His neck is good! Today his neck is almost straight up when he does everything. Also that liquid from his eye isn’t releasing as much anymore. However, he will still refuse to eat and is a bit lethargic still. He still sleeps a lot. Only time he is active is when it’s...
Ah ok starting tomorrow I’ll put his buddy inside. I’ve read from somewhere that other ducks may poke another ducks eye if they find it odd. Should I be worried about this? Also I think his mood is improving decently. I just caught him try to jump out of his little box to explore. Im super happy...
