Has anyone bred Pekin and welsh harlequin ducks together??

[DuckyDonna]

Basically said she has no chance. Said its neurological. But when I suggested her episode/seizure could've been from cool water instead of warm, he said nahhhh, never heard of that. Heard congestion in her lungs, said might be start of pneumonia and it was pointless to give antibiotics....I asked for them any way. Said shell never walk and her knees wont bend..... but they do. I do know tho, that eating and drinking are tough because she inhales it all. So I think I need to feed her with a syringe.
I'm not sure what to do. I feel like anything is possible, but am I being selfish? I dont know what to do

I think that if it gets to the point that she's suffering and miserable you will know what to do.

I tell you what, I have seen that many times! Are you still at the vet?

Already left...sorry

Did he give you any antibiotics?

Did he give you any antibiotics?

He wasnt going to, said it was pointless but I requested them anyway. Got Baytril

That's what I was going to suggest.

That's what @Runner duck mom gave Olive after the vet said there was no point and she wouldn't live through the weekend! I had some baytril and ran it over to her and now 6 months later she's doing great and never looked better! Just do it!

That's what I was going to suggest.

Just worried about the feeding and drinking part. As she drinks water, it bubbles or leaks out of her nares. So I'm going to try something different today. Any suggestions?

K you have to had help some how with feeding food an water. Any ideas?

 

[casportpony]

You could try tube feeding, but learning how to do it on such a small one is tricky, and you would need to find a very small tube.

I remember @Pyxis tube feeding a tiny chick.
