I'm glad you got one. But don't let your guard down. I think tube feeding is a good idea now that shock is over and it's been a few days now that he hasn't eaten. Mix some poultry vitamins into the feed you tube just for added nourishment.We trapped a mongoose about 30 feet from my ducks. I set the trap while I was working on their new fence, and in a few hours, caught a mongoose. It must be very bold and aggressive to come back while I was there, and my 4 dogs. Hopefully it was the one that killed Ruu But probably not whatever killed Dragon since we moved the ducks pretty far yesterday. I’ll keep the traps set out.
I finished the new fence. It’s 1 inch by 5/8 inch hardware cloth with heavy duty pins staking it down to the ground all around the edges. It’s inside the electric fence for an added deterrent. It’s not very big but it’s just temporary.
Injured baby drake is still not eating. I tried a soup but he still wouldn’t eat it. If he doesn’t start eating by tomorrow I can tube feed him

Yes, I have 2 mongoose traps set. Last night the injured baby heard Speck eating and took a tiny bite. I think that’s a good sign. Speck is a good friend for him. But I’ll definitely tube him if he’s not eating more todayI'm glad you got one. But don't let your guard down.

Poor baby I hope his eyes will soon clear. Make sure he can find water so he stays hydrated.
I do not have meloxicam. I was thinking of asking the vet for some today. I do have aspirinI was so worried to asking about Speck thinking the worse that she may have been injured. I'm glad to hear she is helping your drake find food. I bet once the sorenss is better he'll start eating he looks like he should be in pain poor boy. Do you have any Meloxicam that would help with pain and inflammation.
