dying baby ducklings please help

[roselalonde]

I live in Florida, and there is a small retention pond in our backyard. About a week ago, a mother duck came to the pond and decided to make that her spot to feed and swim her babies.
Two days ago, I noticed a straggler duckling, and went down to the pond to see what the problem was and picked him up.
He died that night, of what I am sure was botulism.
He couldn't breath well, couldn't keep his neck up right, couldn't keep his eyes open.
Now last night I went to go look and there was another duckling strayed from the rest. I picked him up, he showed no signs of trying to get away.
This duckling has no use of his legs. He has trouble staying awake, and when he sleeps he does this strange thing where he quickly juts his neck out or shakes his head.
When I put him in some shallow water, he falls over to one side. I haven't been able to get him to eat or drink. Is there anything I can do for him?
He is so so cute, any help would be greatly appreciated, I really don't want him to die.

Bless you for caring enough to try and help. take a small dropper like comes with nose drops and try giving this to the duckling by just putting it inside the mouth at the front, don't try to get it down his throat because it's easy to get it into the lungs. or just dribble it along the bill.
