Oh so im sol? Veterycin is a medication for wounds and cute. If infected it will clear out the infection, but if not infected itl work to keep it infected. So I dont have anything I can do to save it? I just have to let things take place?

I know what it's used for, I just don't know if it would be appropriate for this. They do make one that is:

I know, I lost two a couple of months ago. Put it in the incubator, let it fluff up and go from there.

Ok I looked at all ducklings and they all have that color around their belly and they all had their belly out like that till they started fluffing up. The belly looked better so took it back to mom. The next one baby 8.. it was bleeding some, but im hoping it will dry up quickly and stop.
