Sorry to hear about your duck.

I agree, that her current health situation should be addressed as quickly and effectively as possible, then treat the underlying cause of her problem. Have you gotten tube feeding supplies yet?

She really needs them soon or I'm afraid she'll pass.

For tubing, you could try your local health pharmacy, maybe a wildlife rehabilitator, or you could get some aquarium tubing for fish tanks. You'll also need either a 35ml/60ml syringe, which could be found at most feed stores. Either some game bird feed crumble, or more preferably some Kaytee Exact Baby Feeding formula which could be found at a pet store like Petco/Smart. And lastly, you'll need a scale.

Sounds like a lot, I know, but if you can't take her to a vet she needs to be rehydrated, then given some food asap.

Hi, there!

Just checking in to see how your bird is doing. Updates to these type of threads are quite useful for people in the future experiencing the same problem.
