Ok so the calcium gluconate says that I should get rid of it after opened. Is it ok to keep since I’m only using a teaspoon of it for her or should I just toss it? Sorry for all the questions lol I’ve never dealed with anything like this before

Stick it in the fridge and it will be good for many months.

Yep that’s it!!

Ok, about being hot..... I believe their body temperature is 107F. So they will always feel hot to us. If you are ever thinking your duck may have an infection, it could be hot. I’ve had a Pekin with an infection infection in her toe. I felt the foot and then compared it to the other foot. Her infected foot was quite a bit hotter than the other.

Think about being egg bound as child labor. If she is having a difficult time during “labor”, she will probably be tired for quite awhile because she’s working hard. So her legs might be really tired from tensing up to push. Then when she has time to rest, she feels better. If she passes another egg and then starts feeling better, you will know it’s probably being egg bound. There are a few other issues it could be but let’s see if this works first.

Okay yeah she’s not as warm anymore and I’m pretty sure she’s egg bound considering what else I’ve heard and she’s doing a little better now so I’m gonna give her the vitamins and calcium with treats

The gluconate is 230 mg/ml. The dose I use is 0.2 ml per pound twice a day.
