Blood in duckling poop

[cmobley]

I have a 2 day old mallard that started pooping watery blood. It is the smallest duckling out of 20 hatched. Seems to be eating and drinking fine but kinda says away from the other babies in the brooder. The first poop was big but regular looking with blood in it. The one it just did was more like watery blood. Any ideas where to start?

The other 16 ducklings and 8 chicks are doing great all up running and playing. The corid is supposed to be here tomorrow evening but imma run up to Phillip's in the morning and see if they have some. We supposed to be goin outta town tomorrow so I wanna get em started before I leave. I'm bringing back a big cage with hardware cloth bottom I'm taking them outta these pine shavings just to messy with the ducks.

Could you post a picture of the feces?

Have you fed the duckling any red-colored treats? Have they been outside yet?

It could be due to Coccidiosis, intestinal shed, toxicosis, etc.

Duckling had passed away this evening when I got home from work.

You can get some Corid, at TSC, and use that. Here is the dose :

Go with the severe dosing, and drip a few drops of undiluted Corid along the sick one's bill, and, hopefully you'll see improvement.
