I’m so glad it’s something that’s easily treatable. And no wonder she was acting like that. I bet it was super painful. Thanks @Miss Lydia for stating what seems like the obvious but is overlooked quite a bit!!! You suggested the same thing awhile back and a poor duck had a stick lodged back in...
The only time I’ve seen ducks drool is when I pick them up wrong just after drinking a lot and their crop is full. It accidentally gets squeezed and they puke.
I agree. You can tell by the video the duckling isn’t well. I have a feeling based on how the birds acting, if it doesn’t get treatment it won’t make it.
I would try putting her in warm bath water for as long as you both can stand it? If she’s trying to blow her nose under the water and digging her foot at her face she likely had something stuck and hopefully the warm water will dislodge it. Is the weather still yucky where you live? I ask...
