Half drowned duck

Is she drinking? Could you post a picture of her?

She’s drinking plenty, but she won’t eat whatsoever. I even tried mealworms as a treat in her water. No interest at all in them

This was her like 2 minutes after I fished her out of the pool. I thought she was dead until I wrapped her in a towel and she gave like the weakest quack I ever heard

How does she look now?

I’m letting her rest in the basement now, she looks a lot better, but she still has some wet feather and a bubbly bare spot on her back. And her one eye keeps foaming over which I can’t figure out. Plus she can’t walk whatsoever. Checked her feet and legs. No sign of an infection or sprain.

At a loss for the what the symptoms could mean. She looks mangy to be honest. We have a vet, but 1. We can’t afford it right now, and 2. He basically accused me of animal abuse when I brought Daisy there for Bumblefoot. ( our ducks are spoiled as hell, coops cleaned everyday, given calcium and probiotics, and have access to 3 pools a day while free ranging in their 1 Acre fenced in area

Yes she’s drinking this morning, still not eating tho. Also she has this weird bubbly foam that keeps appearing in her eyes. I’ll wipenit away and 10 seconds later it’s back

I can’t tell if she’s in pain or not. But she definately cant walk whatsoever and is refusing to eat anything.

If she were mine, I'd get her weight down right now, if she loses 5% of that weight over the next few days, I'd start tube feeding her.
