Duck acting odd possible trauma or infection green poop

[Quatie]

The main reason I mentioned tube feeding is it can be hard to find the supplies and takes sometime to get them. So if you do need to do it, you can already be working at getting the parts. @casportpony aquarium tubing is a great idea!

Is this ok?

I just found male catheter tube with syringe ? It looks a little big diameter wise I’m nervous but she swallows grapes whole ?

What size is it? The size on my tube got worn of after washing it so many times, but maybe someone else knows.

I feel nervous about putting meds and stuff down my duck's throat, too. But I just remind myself that they gleefully swallow whole slugs the size of my thumb. I take a breath, and I do it. You've got this.

That looks like it will work, but you will need to melt the end.

It doesn’t say sizing anywhere ? And melt the end ?

Measure it.


Melt with a lighter like this:

She died lesson learned I need to have all these supplies on hand thanks everyone so much !!! I’m going to buy online every single emergency med supply because this is second time I’ve taken duck to vet over 6 years and my ducks died. I need to learn how to take care of emergency situations myself. What sucks is I don’t even know exactly what it was vet just said bacteria in stool now I have to try to keep my other duck safe and prevent

Oh no, so sorry for your loss. What antibiotic did the vet prescribe?
