Duck help

[mascowden]

I got my ducks a kiddie pool last night and they loved it. The problem is that a duck got stuck in there all night. Now he is unable to walk. What can I do to help him?

Do you have nutridrench?

 

[mascowden]

No but I tried giving him some electrolytes and it didn't help.

I'm hoping hes just tired and worn out. I haven't actually had this happen yet but I know giving nutridrench is a first step in almost all bird emergency. Is he eating at all? Talking? Is he trying to walk or just laying still? And how old?

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Sorry about your baby. Have you posted this in our Ducks section? https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/ducks.42/

Those folks in the Ducks section sure know a lot about caring for Ducks.

Good luck with your Duck and enjoy the site!

He's about 4 months old and pretty chatty. He has been trying to move around and eat.

Hopefully he is just pooped out.

Good luck with him.

He may have aspirated water into his lungs. Ducks really need a ramp in & out of the water.

Hope he's feeling better in the morning. @drumstick diva what would you do for that for future reference if you can help them out with it?
