Um it says 8 fr/ch if thwt is the size. Also I have a concern because in the tube feeding thread it says to never tube feed non responsive ducks, and she is just barely responsive
8 is pretty small. Do you have another?
Not right now but I can run to the pet store and get a size 16 if that is better
Okay I will go get the 16 then. How far down the throat is it supposed to go? And how quickly am I supposed to push the plunger down. She is having trouble keeping anything down so I want to make sure I am doing it as good as I can.16 would be perfect!
Very bad idea,
I think these tubes are ~16". I happen to have a Muscovy that I am tube feeding too, so I will measure how far in I stick the tube and report back.
She looks really sick, but she is holding her head up, so not unresponsive. What worries me is the open-mouth breathing. Did the vet comment on that?
I cannot imagine a vet saying just put the syringe directly into her mouth. Maybe they have never seen a ducks anatomy?
