I have also read Kevins post, it was very upsetting to me after knowing that I set Crested duck eggs. I should of not done it but I think I would of maybe had a better chance if they weren't so young. The parents are not even a year old yet.
I also hope that someone will come in and know what to say because I definitely don't, the breeder I talked to doesn't know much, the vet knows nothing, the TSC people know absolutely nothing, so my last hope is with all of you, especially if I have more coming I will know what to do and what not to do.
I am giving him all the love and care he could ever get, I hold him for hours and hours and I am sitting here typing this while holding him with his neck positioned in the right spot, but nothing seems to help.
I have to put water in a teaspoon and use that to give it to him.
Then for food is the same thing, the food is mixed with water and then he eats it.
We haven't given him a lot but when it's time for him to start eating, it's going to be difficult with his neck like this.
I have barricaded him with towels and stuffed animals enough so that he doesn't fall completely on his back and flail all night while I sleep, but so he can kick the towel if he falls and he will get back up.
His neck and head is so far tilted back that it's halfway down his back and chest is pushed forward.
He does peep a lot ! He is always having trouble staying comfortable because he can't just sit normally.
He is resting now in my arms while I get ready to get him set for bed.
I will update you on how he is in the morning and hopefully there will be some improvement. He is actually grooming himself now, his neck stretched but it just doesn't stay up straight.
I don't know if the medication will help or not but it's cheap and I can get it Wednesday (hopefully all of it).
Walmart didn't have the Polyvisol though and a Rite Aid is not very close to here.
Nutri-Drench Drops I thought would be better.
Thanks
