Frozen peas thawed and mashed. Sometimes they will eat treats but not regular food. But do not do this if you have never given her chick grit. I mix that in with the starter feed just to get some inside them in case they eat something other than their normal feed.

I tried small pieces of eggs but she won’t even open her mouth. She will only drink water if i dip her beak into a cup of some sort. She’s never had grit before she’s only a week old.

Not much better/: Only improvement is that she will force herself to try to run around with the other littles but then she will plop down onto her stomach after a couple steps. Still breathing heavy and no signs of eating or drinking. I am calling the vet now to get an estimate.

I will! I am putting together a box for her and putting her in the car now. I really hope they can save my Ginger.

I have some hope she will be okay since she is walking around more and she made it through the night.

Bless her heart hoping for good news!

Hi Everyone,
Ginger is in the vet in an oxygen tank at the moment. The vet informed me she has fluid in her lungs which is common when something traumatic happens to a duckling. She said they are going to give her an anti inflammatory drug and try to administer a small amount of food. She said if the oxygen doesn’t help by tonight that I should consider euthanising her but she also informed me she has very little experience with birds (despite claiming to do aviary on their website). I feel like Ginger may have a chance if I bring her home tonight after oxygen therapy. Do you guys think I should give her a chance or put her down? Is there any at home treatment I can do for her tonight? She doesn’t seem to be in a lot of pain and she is very calm when I pick her up. She can swim in water but no eating or drinking yet. Any ideas? Thank you guys.
