Duck in shock, not doing good. Please help.

I tried feeding her mealworms, oats, corn and some other things and she won’t eat. She is just laying down and her head is shaking a lot. She does not seem to be there mentally. Thank you all for your help but I don’t think she is going to make it. I’m not going to give up on her yet but she has just been sleeping outside in the sun. She doesn’t wake up when I call out her name or get close. She will wake up if something touches her but otherwise she just sleeps.

How has your ducky been doing today? Improving?

I decided to not give up on Jenny and did some things to help her improve and she is now on a slow path to recovery. I don’t think she will ever be the same mentally but at least she is improving.

To help Jenny I started syringe feeding her baby food and vitiamn water with electrolytes. I also kept the other girl duck bubbles with her.

I was keeping her confined because she is still having trouble with her head, so she went inside at night with bubbles and in their outside house durning the day so she could get a little sun.
I decided to start letting her free range and I put her in the duck pool with bubbles and she started swimming and cleaning herself. She did run into the side a few times and mostly just floated but the fact she cleaned herself was a huge improvement. She also even drank a little on her own! I think keeping her locked up had made her depressed, so I’m going to start letting her run around during the day.
She’s not in the clear yet, but I have hope she might make it. Sorry for the long paragraph.


Thank you to all who responded and tried to help me.

That is really good to hear! I am really glad she has been doing normal duck things, even if it is just some preening or some swimming! I hope things continue to improve
