I Need Help FAST

[FlipFlopFarmer6279]

I found a little duck whose whole family had been killed by hawks. I took him home and he seemed fine. I left him for 15 min and when I came back he was laying on his side. It doesn't look like he can hold his head up. He's not pooping, drinking or eating. I gave him some sugar water but I don't have much hope for him. Anyone have any advice?

Is the duckling warm enough?

Yep I put him under our heater

Warm a towel in the dryer, and wrap the duck in it. Then rig a heating pad for it to scoot under for comfort and heat. The contact heat will warm better than radiant heat. Continue the sugar water, and be sure it's warm not cold.

If the ducking has gotten wet, it needs to be blow dried immediately.
