need advice on treating ducks that were attacked

[Jpat]

i think in my very inexperienced mind the next step is quiete, dark, lots of towells, and mix feed and water with a sugar cube into a little sweet warm porage and wait the night out.

Warm sweet porage braught a few of my birds back to life

Were all hoping for you, Poor duckys come so far already

I've got most of that going, and he's definitely calmer now that he's by himself. I gave him some Meloxicam (old stuff, I hope it's still good - they knocked over the bottle the vet gave me this time so we ran out early), and tried to get him to drink some water with peas in it and he wouldn't even try not interested at all. Just tossing his head around every few seconds with his bill open.

I sure hope he pulls through till morning and you can get him to a vet. My heart goes out to you and him

Any news this morning?

Any news this morning?

He's still alive, barely. He's just sitting/laying there, clicking when he breathes.
Do you think there's really anything to be done to help at this point or do I just need to be humane?

I wish I had a suggestion. This is heartbreaking.

I can’t tell you that. Honestly after last night I was really afraid of what the news was going to be this morning. Is he laying down like he’s relaxed? Or stressed like he was? Does he acknowledge his surroundings? You have to be the one to decide what’s next. I wish I was there with you. Do you have someone there who can help you through this?

He's pretty much completely limp. He doesn't struggle at all when I pick him up. I can't stand to watch this.

Then I think you should do what you feel is best!

So sorry this is happening. Maybe make him as comfortable as possible and love on him for a while before.
