Muscovy duckling is literally dying in my hand! Can I do anything for it

[Panicking Nana]

Idk what to do with my baby Muscovy. Yesterday it was drinking at least. As of now I'm holding it watching it die. What can I do!!! It's peeping once in awhile. Totally lethargic...

Oh, I'm so sorry! What are it's symptoms?

Try giving nutridrench or egg yolk for quick energy. And see if it will take water.

If it hasn't been eating or drinking, you can try rubbing electrolytes along the side of its bill. Gatorade, Pedialyte, or even sugar water will work.

Did you notice it shaking it's head excessively? Or were there any other possible symptoms?

Need a little bit more information, pictures, video if you have any...better to be able to see or know what the issue(s) your dealing with your duckling.

I'm so sorry. How old is it, and what are it's symptoms?

Hello and welcome to BYC.
I'm sorry about the duckling. Sometimes these little ones just don't make it.

Welcome to BYC. I'm so sorry. Have you tried electrolytes? It might help if we knew what was going on.
