Help! Duckling bleeding!

[Miss Lydia]

Do not feel bad, trust me, this is not your fault! Nothing you did made anything worse. For whatever reason, this duckling did not absorb correctly.

I agree! This isn’t your fault. It’s heartbreaking but not anything you did.

I respect any choice you make, But what do you think? Are you going to attempt helping it any further?

I’m not sure what more I can do for her. I just tried giving her sugar water and it didn’t go to well

The small ones are hard to do, especially when they are in such a fragile state. One drop at a time under the tongue and let them swallow.

I’m so sorry. I was hoping since she had the strength to push out of the shell on her own, that she might be ok.
I have, on occasions, euthanized baby birds. These decisions are excruciating to make. In this case, I feel like Mother Nature will make the decision before you will have to make it. She will either simply stop breathing, or a miracle will happen.

Pulling this completely out of my butt, do you guys think there's any way @Opal could try to feed the yolk to the duckling orally? Maybe putting sugar on it so it's more tasty?

Hello, everyone. I am sad to say that I decided to put her down. She was not doing well at all. She was dehydrated, and her leg was deformed from the way she was positioned. I did not want her to suffer although I loved her greatly. I had my boyfriend put her down humanely. I feel horrible and am extremely upset.

The ducklings are doing great! I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this already, but I took on a special one from tractor supply! She looks better than she did. Still has some trouble walking, but she’s my baby. They’re all doing good and being bad lol

Thats so good of you, The B complex vitamins you get at feed stores are great for weaklings and the whole flock too

Or pharmacy B complex vits are good too but its not as concentrated

What breeds did you get?
