Help! Ducks attacked by mink!

Second round of fluids went well! Both of my ducks did great, and they already appear to be less lethargic.
Here's hoping the rest of their treatment goes so well.

Good job!

Poop update: they are both pooping fairly clearish liquids now. Not much solid, if any at all.

That's normal when they haven't been eating.
Hopefully the poops will change soon.

Have you done the second tubing yet?

 

[Lukemjm]

Yes, it went well. They are both resting a little more while they get rehydrated, then I am going to try food.

If both are pooping clear liquid it means the fluids have made it through their intestines and that you can start tubing food very soon.

I am so sorry your going through this.
Hopefully the tube feeding will do the trick and your girl will feel much better soon!
If not, you can rest easy knowing you gave her every chance you could at extending her life.

Very glad to hear things are going well! I've been following along but hadn't posted.

On the topic of lubing the tube, when I tube feed I often lube up the end with coconut oil. Just because it's what I always have on hand (for when I have to assist a hatch) and it works pretty well.
