Penguin seems sick

[SolarDuck]

Keep the poop and bring it in to the vet tomorrow!

They pooped in the water so i can't really, but I will if they poop again in the bedding. I typed up a few papers explaining all the symptoms and everything I have given to her and I will include a picture of the poop in it

 

[SolarDuck]

You can try but in her state of decline how do you plan on getting it in her? You have to be so careful of aspirating.

Just plan on being careful and giving it to her with an oral syringe she managed to take the rooster booster the same way pretty well

Okay I gave her 1.6ml of the antibiotic because that was the dose prescribed to my duck Pigeon and they are similarly sized. She was almost dead before I gave it to her I was worried I am sure if I had left her for 5 more minutes She would have passed. She seemed to take it alright, and I also gave her about 7ml of pedialyte via the tube feeding syringe I got. She perked up a little bit but is still not doing well at all

Okay so, I've given ducks pills hundreds of times because of Pigeon, so I'm pretty sure I did not do it improperly, but she actually just puked up a bit. I don't see any of the pink antibiotic in her puke but she puked up the 2 charcoal pills I gave her 2 hours ago. @Miss Lydia @KaleIAm

Oh, you can't mix the charcoal and the antibiotics. The charcoal will absorb the medicine.

I can't remember how long it is after giving charcoal. Does anyone know?

yeah that is why I waited a few hours after the charcoal before the medicine

 

[Miss Lydia]

I'd not give her any more charcoal if they were still whole when they came back up.

 

[SolarDuck]

I'd not give her any more charcoal if they were still whole when they came back up.

Yeah I will not me giving her anymore, they werent completely whole I would say they were like half dissolved.

 

[SolarDuck]

Also she is keeping her mouth slightly open and it is really worrying me. Not sure if I should do more pedialyte for her or if her puking means I shouldn't

 

[SolarDuck]

Okay so she seems to have some charcoal stuck in her mouth, I just opened it and it is black in there. I am filling up the tub for her again hoping she will drink a little to get it out of her mouth. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to clean out her mouth if it doesn't work?
