Mix one capsule with 10 ml of water and give 4.3 ml twice a day.

Thank you for all your help. I have her all doctored up. I Removed the bumble foot infections and gave her the meds. Let’s hope it works.

We are on round 3 of meds and she is about the same. She doesn’t seems to be eating or drinking very much. Any suggestions?

How much does she weigh now? @casportpony , may suggest crop feeding.

 

[Justin Statham]

She weighs 3.2 pounds now. How do you crop feed? Is there any video you could point me to. is there anything else we could check like maybe egg bound or something?

Step 1:
Bring duck inside and place in a warm room, 80-85 degrees is ideal (watch for signs of over-heating).

Step 2:
Weigh the duck

Step 3:
Once warmed, correct hydration and this should not be done until the duck is warmed up. Tube warmed (102 degrees) Pedialyte or Gatorade at 14 ml per pound of body weight, wait 60-90 minutes and repeat. If no poop is produced by 3 hours after first tubing, repeat once more.

Get aquarium air line and Kaytee Exact baby bird food from petsmart or petco, then go get 60 ml syringe from Tractor Supply.

The end of the aquarium air line has sharp edges, so melt it with a lighter.

I cannot stress this enough, do steps 1-3 before giving food.

Ok . I gave her Gatoraide and she pooped. I then gave her a little Chick starter ground up to a liquid mush. I am still giving her the meds. Anything else I need to look at? I cannot tell if she is getting better or worse so far I would say about the same.
