EMERGENCY! PLEASE HELP ME/ SICK DUCK

[casportpony]

We are in Center Ossipee, NH. Honestly we do not have much money. I know of NO avian vet anywhere near here. We have one crappy car and hubby is working right now. This is so painful.

I understand.

I understand.

Thank you. Everyone has been so helpful and kind and we appreciate it so much. We're going to keep giving her the nutri-drench and hoping she gets better. I will update. If any other ideas, keep advising. Thank you again so much.

Do you have a food scale that you can weigh her on? It would be good to get a baseline weight, then start weighing daily.

If she is losing weight, you will need to tube feed water & food. Do you want to learn how to tube feed?

Is she breathing ok? What kind of bedding are they on , I wonder if she ate some bedding?

Yes, we have one of those little round food scales. I am getting it out. Yes, please tell me how to use a feeding tube. Thank you!

Are there stores nearby where you get a 30 ml or 60 ml syringe and a tube?

Her breathing is normal. Hubby put hands on her and one of the other ducklings and they were both breathing at same rate. Sounds perfectly normal to us. No wheezing, no gasping for breath, etc. They are on shavings from Tractor Supply. I have not seen any of them eat any of it at all.

We have a Walgreens, Tractor Supply. Would drugstore have that?
