HELP MY DUCKLING

[Weeg]

Does it say anywhere on the bag what type of wood it is? I can't see from that photo. Maybe on the back?

 

[Jimdeau]

I wettened most of it but I dont remember if I ever forgot to moisten it or maybe not enough
It's a bit smaller then them I think I need a bigger one
I keep having to refill the water because it has wood shavings in it
I dont know what a normal one feels like but this one feels some what okay
It's hard to touch tjem since they move a lot they aren't fully comfortable with me
Also my duck is sitting weirdly

It might be because of his issues. Try to get him sitting correctly, just tuck his legs underneath him. Is he still panting? If he is, move him out of the heat some.

I tried moving him back and he went back into that seizure state and I tried to help him back but now he's sitting like this I do think it is a spinal injury

Hmm, I'll see if Google has any answers. I'd be very concered to use that with my animals if it can cause cancer in people. I'd switch ASPA. Poultry have much more sensitive respiratory systems than us, so anything that affects us will definitely affect them. Not sure if thats whats causing the problem, but I'd still be concerned about it.

It may be. Can you pick him up and get him situated in your hands? Hold his legs pressed against his belly, and wait until he relaxes. Then set him down? Have you tried giving him more sugar water if that seemed to help.

Can you bring him out of the heat
Ducks need feed and water 24/7 when is the last time they ate ?

Probably two hours ago which was moist oatmeal
The problem is they always run out so idk what I'm doing wrong like how much am I supposed to give and for the water it either runs out or I have to refill and clean because of the wood shavings so it is quite a handful

I'm so sorry, this must be so difficult. Just know you are doing everything right and more. You are doing more for this duckling than a lot of owners would be able to do. I'm so sorry your having to deal with this, it will all pay off once you get him all fixed up.
