You might want to consider having a necropsy done on the deceased duckling.

I live in a rural area...they don't do necropsy on poultry...they are considered a dime a dozen.

I think this little one has a respiratory issue...ergo giving tetramyacin and see what happens.. After giving some B12 it perked a little more.

It died. I watched it have a seizure and it died.

I am so sorry!

They were fine yesterday? Do you separate mama and babies from the drake at night? Some drakes are fine with babies, some are not... and some are good with them during the day when they have space and run around, but have issues when confined close at night... could he have done some rough poking and *not really intentionally* caused some injury?
