She needs more fluids.

How much?

How much?

Sorry for the late reply and because of the late reply I’m not exactly sure. But she is doing much much better. She’s much more alert and her poop is almost back to normal. She’s been preening herself and is getting a bit antsy being in the kennel. She’s almost back to her regular self

Glad she is better. How is she today?

She was drinking on her own today and I saw her pick at some food. She moving around much more.

That's good news. Every now and then I will get one that acts sick and sometimes just provide supportive care like you are doing is enough to get them feeling better again.

Hope she keeps improving too! Happy to hear she is much much better.

When should I let her back outside? She’s getting antsy. Plus my mom isn’t a huge fan of me keeping the duck inside .

I usually put them back out once they are pooping, eating, and drinking normally.
