Baby duck wont eat?????

[Carrosaur]

Will do. Both ducks have meds now, one taken orally every two weeks for four weeks and one taken orally twice a day until empty... hoping this will work.

I hope so too. They couldn't tell you if this is cocci? it shows up as blood in the poop. did your SIL explain how to give meds? about never forcing anything down their throats because it can go into their lungs. How are they acting? eating good. running around?

No not really, she just took my ducks out of their brooder popped open their mouths and squirted it in.. bad?? They sent the stool off to be tested.

Yes they are running around! Racing?! Eating and splashing in the water.

Always make sure to put the meds at front of bill not in back where it could go down the wrong way. Just best to be safe than sorry. she may have squirted it towards the front in other words don't try to squirt it down their throats. I have also used a tiny piece of w/w bread and put the meds on it and fed it to mine to keep from stressing them out by opening their mouths. Then all you have to do is hand feed it to them. works for a chicken too.
