About 4 nights i heard one of my ducks quacking really loud so i went up and one of them were pinned in the corner by an owl. I quickly ran out and scared the owl away and saw that my duck wasn’t acting right at all. He couldn’t stand up right and just seemed all around unbalanced. Ive been caring for him for 4 days now and he has improved because it seems like his energy levels and balance have gotten a little better. I kept him in my room in the basement mainly with the light dimmed most of the time. I just put him in the garage because i have to start going back to school and don’t want him pooping all over my room. Ive given him some baths and tried to help his walking and even when he takes a bath he seems unbalanced also. He tries to peck his belly in the bath but falls forward and usually hits the wall. He seems energetic in the bath just cant balance that well. When hes in our garage, in a bed that i set up for him, he keeps wanting to stand but right when he gets up he falls sideways or backwards and looks like hes drunk. He eats and drinks pretty well (i have to hand feed him). Im going to stay on what ive been doing to care for him which seems like hes improving in small fragments but just looking for any advice or anything to give him??? Please and thanks
