So sorry to hear about your duckling.You probably already know this but I found this page on The Poultry Site. I haven't visited this site before. There's someone called CrazyChick/Laura that seems to have what I think is extensive medical knowledge. She knows all the big words anyway. On this page she talks about ascites, conditions, treatment. And further down talks about anemia and worms, vaccines, etc. It's a Canadian site, I believe. Here's the link if you want to have a look:

Well, baby duck is no longer with us. He was going downhill fast and it was all he could do to breathe. I feel really awful about not picking up on it sooner. But I suppose it's experiences like this that will benefit future babies--I'll know what to look for. You have been such a tremendous help and comfort to me, Lydia. I am so sorry that you are going through your own ordeal right now. I don't guess you ever get used to it, huh?
How are your little hatchlings coming along? How many have made their debut to the world?
