Penguin seems sick

[SolarDuck]

Okay the bath seemed to mostly work to get the charcoal out of her mouth. I think I will give her about an hour or two then try some more pedialyte

 

[SolarDuck]

She is sort of druling a bit and it is scaring me. Anyone know what would cause drooling and if there is anything I should do about it?

 

[SolarDuck]

I saw an old thread about a duckling drooling and someone said that it can mean they are dehydrated. I am worried, do you know anything about this? @Miss Lydia also do you know what an appropriate amount of pedialyte to give would be I am struggling to find any information on the amount of pedialyte for a duck

 

[Miss Lydia]

We had storms come through and I lost internet. Good to hear she has washed her mouth out. Just offer her some Pedialyte in a small container and see if she'll drink some. I never measured.
Drooling could be from the charcoal. I imagine it doesn't taste so good.

Okay, she has been seemingly not able to drink much or at all, but I just put a little bowl of the pedialyte in front of her face hopefully she will sip on it. I'll keep an eye on her throughout the night and maybe force some more pedialyte if she seems to get any worse. She is hanging in there for now, she's just gotta make it 12 more hours before we can go to the vet

Thinking of you and your sweet ducks! I’m praying for a good evening and an answer tomorrow at the vet’s office.

Just make sure she doesn't lay her face in the bowl if she is real weak.

What does her poop look like?

Yeah for sure I put it slightly to the side so she can get it if she wants but shouldn't fall in
