So IDK if I am the only person to have a duck that can't swim or what???? My Khaki Campbell decided to drown. I went out to sit with them this evening and I always count them. Since there is only one Khaki Campbell I knew immediately who was missing. I went and looked in the water trough. There he was........................I thought he was playing in the water. So I sat down, and was like he isn't moving. So I proceeded to walk over and check things out closer. He was dying! He was cold, limp, and eyes were glazed over.
So I kicked it into save Campbell mode! I turned him upside down and let water drain out of his beak. I squeezed the extra water off of him. Then I wrapped him in my shirt and gave him rescue breaths and chest compressions. Yes I did!!!!! I saved my duck with CPR!!!! He spewed up a bunch of water, then I took him into my car to dry him off, and warm him up. I can say that when I left him tonight that he is going to be okay! He was grooming and hanging out with the other ducks!
I love my animals so much! I sell birds, but I do get quite attached. I hate when an animal dies. There was no way in h E l L I was going to let that happen! I might not keep Campbell forever, but he will always be a miracle!!!!
A real purty green one, too!
