Help, please!

Thanks. I'll let my sister know, I'm at school now, so she's tending to him while I'm away today.

This is trouble, he's gotten worst. He no longer vocalizes or eats. He's only drink the water that I've been giving him now. And when I try to feed him the egg that you suggested he spat it back up. I don't know what to do anymore.... ;-;

I'm sorry to say that trouble passed away. I think the seizure got to him. I buried him next to his sister. At least they'll rest in peace with each other. Thank you for all of you with all your advice. The next time I'm come across an abandon duckling I have the knowledge to care of one now.

Is he under heat? If he is cold, his system will begin to shut down. Don't feed him while he's having an 'episode' either or he will likely aspirate the food and die anyway.And definitely try the egg....I tend to scramble rather than boil as it retains more moisture.

^X2 about the aspirating.

Sorry to hear he didn't make it. Seizures are very hard on them and hard to treat unless you know the cause and it's often genetic so can't be truly cured, only managed, if it doesn't kill them first...

Best wishes in future.
