My duck isn’t eating and poops bright green

[casportpony]

Mine will usually start eating on their own by day 2 or 3 of Baytril.

Oh, welcome to Team Tube Feeding!

Good luck to Maybelle.

How much and how often did the vet recommend tubing her?

Vet suggested tube feeding her 2-3 times a day. It’s a high protein powder diet that you mix with water.

I hope she makes a comeback and beats this.

How many mls of this mixture each feeding?

 

[Code 30 Ranch]

She is getting 30mL for each feeding. It’s a large syringe with a soft tube.

This is the powder mix the vet gave me. It’s full of vitamins and nutrients. I’m not seeing any improvement today...poop is still minty green liquid with sporadic dark green solids. She is still drinking water and enjoys bathing in the bathtub with her sister. I let her spend the morning under a shade tree earlier and she seemed to be happy quacking with her geese friends. She is still too weak to walk. The bathtub seems to help because it allows her to move around in the water and not just sit all day.

Bless her heart. Sure hope you see improvements real soon. Sounds like she sure hasn't given up.
