Please help! 2-day-old Mallard Duckling

Oh and she's still sleeping a lot. Is that ok?

Given she is only two days old, they are going to sleep a lot.

Yes, you will need to cup her with your hand and offer her food, you can dip her bill in water for a second to make her drink, you'll need to do this often. I would just give her a couple of drops orally.

Ok, thank you so much!

Thank you, I was just worried if something was wrong or not

Did you get the B complex and Vitamin E yet?

You might get the duckling to eat better if you make the feed with some warm water and soupy. Just make it up a little at a time until she gets eating good

I'm going to buy them this afternoon with my mom. Everyone in my family has been busy so we haven't had a chance to go outside. Since I'm still in high school and we have online classes, I have homework to do as well I'm really trying to not have homework get in my way of taking care of her.

I'll try that, thank you!

Hello, so I got the E but the only liquid B complex I could find was this. Is this ok? I haven't given her the B complex yet because I'm not sure if this is ok. I know you guys said she needs thiamine but this liquid one doesn't seem to have it.

It’s not near as good as the Durvet from TSC. That one is more concentrated. You can start her on this one but I’d try an get the one from TSC if at all possible. Take your duckling wrap in a soft wash cloth and dribble some of the liquid b along her bill or put tiny drops one at a time into her bill right at the front of her bill.

The Durvet one from the TSC around my neighborhood only has high level B complex for injections and the gel one but they say it's for bovines, ovines, and swines. Are those ok???
