Help!!!!!!! Day old muscovy duckling very sick!!!!

[autumn_g]

HelpLast night I had to help this little guy put of his egg. He had poked ahole day before yesterday and there was no progress. Plus his breathing got very labored. I now he is VERY lethargic. Not able to walk well. I gave him some very diluted vitamin B complex. What is wrong???? What can I do???? Should I give it ACV?

Plus his brother or sister died overnight in the shell. Wasn't able to get out....

Ducklings are very fragile. Be prepared for the little one to pass away

Just keep doing what you're doing and pray the little one perks up.

I read that sugar water is good for ducklings. And acv is good after a few days for a health booster. Since this little guys sick can I go ahead a give it to him? What about the sugar water?

 

[autumn_g]

Please.

Yes ACV and electrolytes... ACV dose is 1 TBS per gallon of water. It won't be the complete solution, but it can help. @Miss Lydia can probably help more than I can. She's very helpful with duck information.

I'm so sorry. she seems very sick and she could pass away overnight if this doesn't improve. Give her ACV and electrolytes, and we can hope for the best. I can see how upset you are, and I know you must be stressed. There's always hope, so take a deep breath. what happens will happen and it's beyond your control. Good luck.

Id just stick with diluted b complex. And get that little thing off that slick floor onto something it can get a grip let it rest it doesn't need to eat for at least 2 days.
