Depressed duck

[Runner duck mom]

I'm sorry this happened to your duck but glad you had a vet to treat her.
If she's wearing a bandage on her neck that may be whats scaring the other ducks...because all new things are scary
If she can't have one of her friends with her you can try giving her a mirror to keep her company.
Is she eating any kind of treats at all? If she is you could always try giving her some treats in a small bowl of water , may encourage her to drink and get her to eat something.
If you do need to tube feed but haven't done it before it sure is scary. But once you've done it a few times it's not bad at all. I had lots of help here for my 1st time as well.

Yes, she did have a bandage. I will try a mirror thanks! I tried giving her all kinds of things but she spits them at me.

@Opal8 if you get baby bird food you can use the things you bought to feed her. You’ll need to make it real thin to get it through those small tubes

I actually think the tubes I have are too short

@Miss Lydia is right! If she's not drinking at least try giving her water through the tubes so you'll be practiced if she needs the food. Pedilite is ok too.

well hold on, how long are they? As long as you can get it into the correct hole to go into her crop you'll be good.

I just looked on amazon and I didn't find how long the 4mm tube was. Can you measure it?

 

[Miss Lydia]

I don’t think the longest one is too short just be sure to read over that info real good make sure you know the hole your suppose to put the tube in. And go super slow when doing it.

 

[Miss Lydia]

We all had to start where you are right now so if we did you can.

I'm sure she's stressed from the attack and being away from the rest of her flock and I'm sure her neck is sore. It may be that it just hurts her to swallow at the moment.
If the vet gave you any antibiotics or liquid pain meds and showed you how to give them thats good practice too.
If you decide to tube fluids or food I used this video to get myself ready for our 1st tube feeding.
