My ducklings are all dying.. HELP!

What you could do is clip the fluff that is covering his wound, but make sure to not accidentally cut him. Then you could rinse it out with some saline, let it air dry, rinse with purified water, dry, and use a qtip or glove to apply ichthammol cream(can be purchased at cvs/Walgreens). Then, you can put 1/4 teaspoon of Duramycin(can be purchased at tractor supply) in 8 cups of water and let him drink it. You should clean his area 1 to 2 times a day(depends on how messy he is). Repeat this daily until the wound is completely gone. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much! I’m going to try to call my local vet tomorrow and get some antibiotics (although I’m not sure if it’ll work since it’s for a duck and I don’t want to bring him in and stress him out). It’s already been 3 days of symptoms that are getting worse, I hope it’s not too late to reverse!

It shouldn't be too late to fix it. The vet would probably be a better option too, since they have a wider range of antibiotics. But he sure is one strong duckling!

Thank you! Hopefully the vet is kind enough to sell me some antibiotics!
