    Karen feeling bad

    She was very eager to get out of her cage so I just put her back out with the ducks for the night. I'll keep weighing her for a few days but she seems to be doing great. Not sure what this was, both cases were very quick to get pretty bad and very quick to recover. I went out and completely...

    Yeah I only tube fed her twice and don't plan on doing it again unless she stops eating again

    Karen feeling bad

    A few hours after tube feeding her yesterday I looked at her and noticed a little bit of dribble on her chest so it seemed like she puked up just a little bit of the tube feed. I didn't give her another feed at night because I did see her poking around in the food bowl, but it didn't go down at...

    She seems to be doing about the same, still not eating so i tube fed her again and added some vitamins to it. Luckily she completely trusts me so she is much easier than the other ducks to tube feed and check on she just Let's me grab her every time. I can see from her poops the charcoal worked...

    So I just weighed her and she is only 3.6 lbs. I weighed her just 2 weeks ago and she was 5.4 lbs which is around her normal weight. She is drinking but not eating so I think I will tube feed her tonight because she is never this light unless she hasn't been eating for awhile. I'll put a wee bit...

    Sooo, Karen has been doing fine for awhile now. Yesterday all ducks seemed to be acting completely normal out foraging, I put them away around 11 so they only got a few hours out of the run because my family went on a kayak trip yesterday, when I got back last night I peeked into the coop and...

    So update tonight, she was 3.6 lbs this morning but I put her out with the other ducks and for the first time she stuck with the ducks all day foraging with them so that was great to see!! I brought her in just now and weighed her in at 4 lbs!! I'm keeping her inside for monitoring tonight but...

    When they're plumped out my ducks are all around 5 lbs, when I rescued Karen she was super skinny much skinnier than she is now and had all her feathers ripped out from the feral Drake's. I'm definitely going to keep monitoring her until she gets back to that 5 lb mark

    Karen feeling bad

    I brought her back in and weighed her in at 3.6 lbs, so I went ahead and put a few good sized handfuls of soldier fly worms in her food bowl to encourage her to eat. She didn't eat right away but I just checked her again and a good amount of them were gone and I weighed her in at 3.8 lbs. Good...

    I didn't hear anything when listening to her chest, but she had a normal sounding hiss this morning so I let her out with the other ducks and for rhe first time she ran right over to the pool and jumped in to take a bath so that's good. She's been hanging out with the other ducks all day I'll...

    So the gurgle noise when she hisses at me came back. I put some mealworms in the water to encourage her to drink and as soon as she drank the sound went away, but after about an hour it came back. Not sure what it is.

    Yes it is on the way but I think it will still take awhile. Not sure if that sound was a fluke, she seems like she isn't making that sound anymore. I just weighed her in at 4 lbs so she is steadily gaining .2 lbs every day

    Just went to check on her. Water is low she is definitely drinking a lot but I noticed while she is hissing at me she is breathing strangely. It sounds like there might be mucus in her throat or something.

    This morning she is up from 3.4 lbs to 3.6 lbs 👏 I went ahead and put her outside while it is still cool out and Penguin seemed happy to see her

    Karen feeling bad

    I just weighed her in at 3.4 lbs which is definitely pretty low, but I've been watching her for a few hours and seen her both eating and drinking several times. If she doesn't gain some weight by tomorrow I'll continue tube feeding

    She already is eating so that is good I might try this out if she isn't eating later today

    Karen feeling bad

    I went out with mealworms and she wouldn't take them from my hand like she usually does, but I threw some in the pool than threw her in the pool and she was happy to start gobbling them up. I'll keep an eye on her today without tube feeding.

    Decided to take a look at chewy for antibiotics just because that other website said it will take 10 days to ship. Are any of these good? A couple of them say bird but I assume fish antibiotics still have the same active ingredients.

    Karen feeling bad

    So this morning I got up and her water was almost empty so she definitely was drinking some. The food bowl also looked a decent bit lower than it was when I put it in yesterday. She still would not take mealworms out of my hand, but I took her out of the cage and placed her outside and she got...

    Karen feeling bad

    I am having trouble sleeping so I went to check on her. Her water bowl looks about 1 inch lower than it was this morning, and she was sitting in a big pile of very watery poop that I cleaned up for her so I think it's safe to assume she is drinking now, but I will continue to keep a close eye on...
