Baby duckling help

[sjpearson]

Momma duck hatched 2 babies about 2 weeks ago and last night my male killed one and tried to kill the other so I took the baby away cleaned up its boo boos but it hasn't eaten at all. Is that normal adjustment from the stress? What should I do?

Are the wounds deep?
It is possibly in shock. You could try to give it a little sugar water.
Is the little one in a brooder and under a heat lamp?
If it’s alone, it will need another duckling with it.

Make sure the water is not cold. Room temp or a little warm.

The only place I can get another duckling is out atm but been checking. It is under heat lamp. I got it some fruit and fresh green yesterday and is now eating everything I give it. No wounds weren't deep. He's doing much better now.

Update: baby is doing much better now after getting some fresh fruit and greens for it. And seems to be very content now as long as someone is in the room with it. It walks around shaking its tale so my kids have decided to call Tails. So meet Tails.

So cute!
It sounds like just shock.
