Help! Dying duckling! *solved*

[MochaDuck]

So I have a duckling that I've been taking care of. My mom just check on her and noticed she looked weak. Usually when you pick her up she squirms, then snuggles; but now she's just going limp in my hand what can I do?

Is it something that can spread to my chickens and ducks? She's had no physical contact with them.

Idk if you know anything about ducks, but just in case.


I've been giving her sugar water and she's perked up a teeny bit. But then she kinda goes back to being weak. I think she's dying.

How old is it, how long have you had it, what have you been feeding it, and what are you using as a brooder? You started this thread yesterday:

Is this the new one?

It looks to be no more than a couple of days old. I've been giving it non medicated chick feed. If by brooder you mean a heat lamp, then yes. It is the same duck.

My mom and I were walking our dogs on property and I looked down and saw a little duckling. I took it inside, got it food, water, and heat. My mom and I looked around and found no signs of siblings, parents, or a nest. She was fine yesterday next to she seemed to like to sleep a lot, but she also was hyper when she was awake.

Edit:
I don't know if she has a vent. She barely drinks, and eats even less.

Does she still have her egg tooth?
