Ducks with special Needs

[Miss Lydia]

Hello friends well i have bad news dandelion is doing real bad she has had about 20 or more seizures in the last couple of days.......this time she has bit her tongue and won't eat or drink i am unable to find a vet who will see her

to me it seems like she had fluid on her brain....i am at a loss what to do for her and its heartbreaking if anyone has any ideas please feel free to share I'm desperate

Not Eating and drinking aren't good signs not sure if you'd want to try and tube feed her. @Tevyes Dad has some experience he may give you advise. Keep her as comfortable as possible. and let her know your there. I wish I knew a sure fire way to help her. are you still giving her the B complex? If you can coax her to drink I'd try to get some of the vitamins into her. I know this is so depressing to not be able to find a vet who will help. I am very sorry

I'm so sorry to hear that Dandelion's seizures are worse.

In addition to the vitamins, perhaps adding electrolytes and probiotics would give her a boost?

Will be sending good energy to you and Dandelion.

I don't want her to suffer how ever i don't know if it is best to keep her alive.......what ever is going on with her neurologically it is bad it is like the lights or on but nobody is there.....honestly i thing her head is full of fluid........we had freezing rain last night and no one is open so i think i will keep her as comfortable as i can and Monday i will try again to find some one that can put her down for me even if i have to drive far

You're a good guardian to her...the important thing, IMO, is her quality of life. I don't believe in keeping an animal alive if his/her quality of life is poor. I know how hard it is to be facing this kind of decision, and how difficult it is to make.

You and your girl will be in my thoughts.

I'm so glad to hear that she bounced back!

That girl has a lot of fight in her. I know the ups and downs must be very stressful for you - hang in there!

Elliott's doing well - he's still chasing girls around and generally being a character. It's really muddy out here due to recent snowmelt followed by rain and he and the other ducks are having a great time playing in the mud. It was 65 degrees this morning, so the kiddie pools went out - you can imagine how happy everyone was to see the pools again.
