So the gurgle noise when she hisses at me came back. I put some mealworms in the water to encourage her to drink and as soon as she drank the sound went away, but after about an hour it came back. Not sure what it is.How is Karen doing this evening?
I didn't hear anything when listening to her chest, but she had a normal sounding hiss this morning so I let her out with the other ducks and for rhe first time she ran right over to the pool and jumped in to take a bath so that's good. She's been hanging out with the other ducks all day I'll weigh her again when I bring her back in later. Seems to be doing pretty good now definitely more active than she has been.Any discharge from eyes or nares? listen to her chest for any sounds that aren't normal.
Has she always been such a tiny duck?I brought her back in and weighed her in at 3.6 lbs, so I went ahead and put a few good sized handfuls of soldier fly worms in her food bowl to encourage her to eat. She didn't eat right away but I just checked her again and a good amount of them were gone and I weighed her in at 3.8 lbs. Good news is I haven't heard the strange breathing noise, she has had her normal sounding hiss all day.
When they're plumped out my ducks are all around 5 lbs, when I rescued Karen she was super skinny much skinnier than she is now and had all her feathers ripped out from the feral Drake's. I'm definitely going to keep monitoring her until she gets back to that 5 lb markHas she always been such a tiny duck?
