Duckling at my daughters yarn bracelet

[mbobo]

My two week old White Crested Duckling at my daughters 3-4 inch yarn bracelet that she made. She saw him eating it and we could not get it out in time. Will he be ok? We have two ducklings and are not 100% sure which one it was because they pretty much look identical. We are so scared. We love our little guys.

First and foremost...! I hope that you enjoy this site as much as the rest of us do! I have learned SOOO much from this site, and I hope that you do too!!
Secondly, your duckling should be okay! Don't worry too much!Just check the little duckies poop and see if you can find anything! It should come out the other end lol!! Hope this helps!

That doesn't sound good. @KikisGirls @casportpony @aart @Wyorp Rock I don't know who else to tag??

Make sure they're both drinking lots of water! Turn their feed into a wet mash, you don't want anything dry going through their system and causing that yarn to get blocked inside.

Welcome to BYC! Is a vet an option?

I've seen and heard of many duckling eating things they weren't supposed to. It should be okay, but I'd check up on it often to make sure everything is okay!

I would have to find a vet. My daughters and myself are so worried..... drinking water seems fine now....

Hello..I'm pretty sure it will pass through the Duck. As you know Ducks poop lots so it should pass quickly. Keep an eye on them is all you can really do..

He seems so fine this am. If the bracelet is stuck... would he get sick immediately or a few days from now?

That depends and his stomach acid will break down fibre so I'm sure he will be okay.
