Some also use baby bird food from the pet store probably has a name but I don't know it.There are a number of threads here that address tube feeding ducks, like this one: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/725982/duck-force-feed-help. See the links embedded in the thread.
Tube feeding formulas generally seem to include a specially-formulated parenteral nutrition liquid like Ensure Plus. This site has a recipe: http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00...s/UKBHusbIndTech/cas_feeding_av_waterfowl.htm.
Tagging some duck folks for additional input: @Miss Lydia , @Amiga , @Ren2014
Is your duck alone now or do you still have other ducks? If you have others, is she separated from them or can she see them? If she is a lone duck now, she is likely grieving the loss of her friend. Ducks bond very strongly.
