If she's not with the other Ducks even if I stick her in something small she will just stand there. She's not able to move her head far enough yet to lift the water from her head to her back when she's dunking it. Just the water from her sitting in a tiny kiddie pool that isn't very deep and me putting water down her back is enough to make her stay wet for a while. She's so swollen that she has a hard time reaching her back to preen, especially under her wings and her hind end which stays pretty wet, even if I try to pat her dry with the towelYou could give her a smaller something to wash in like a heavy rubber feed bowl or Cement mixing tub that way she can bathe but not get soaked? I am happy to hear she’s getting better though and the drake too. If you saw a video or info on tube feeding maybe you should think about getting some nourishment into her?
