Hello

I found a drowning duckling in a lake with no mama duck in sight. he was completely drenched and was struggling to get on land. I don't know what to do, last time this happened it died within hours(though i had been watching it in the wild for days and it was relly weak-struggling to walk and swim-)'
im trying to keep it warm but what shoul I do?

Keep it warm. Feed it and give it lots of cuddles. That’s what I would do
 
After it warms up and is doing better, you should probably take it to the local wildlife rescue, they'll have a better idea of how to care for it.

I hope the little one makes it.
 
This will sound weird but put it in your shirt. It needs to be warm. It will thank you by staying alive.
 
Okay ty. What food too? I'm going to buy some tommorrow but it's late now. I was giving it watermelon but I ran out
 
Go to the duck section on here and look for a thread called "orphaned ducklings... help" by Cloverleaf Farm. There's some good information there, and then browse the rest of the forum for additional information on getting the little one to adulthood.
