Premature duckling

[Lizram555]

It can lift its head but not hold it. It did drink some sugar water before of the palm of my hand and lifted head back to swallow it. Its eyes are partly closed. They opened when I gave it the water and it squeaked when I touch it but in the cup it tends to shake its head kick legs and sleep.

How’s your little on since it took some sugar water?

 

[Lizram555]

It seemed to move more . But tbh I've gone for a walk now. It gets abit much worrying about the poor thing. I'll be home in an hour so I'll check again then. How often should I give it water? I have been awake since 4am this morning worrying . X

If you can get it to drink a sip of Gatorade or Pedialyte every 30-60 minutes that might help.

 

[Lizram555]

Ok I will do that. I dont have any Gatorade or Pedialyte ? C

 

[Lizram555]

I'm wondering if it makes it through the night if that means it might turn a corner .x thankyou so much for all your advice I do t feel like I'm doing it alone now

 

[Lizram555]

Just gave it more water and not much improvement. Should I feed throughout the night?

 

[casportpony]

Can you go get Gatorade or Pedialyte?

 

[Lizram555]

I'm not sure where I could get them from

Ive just looked online and we have lucozade which is basically the same. Shall I get that ? How much should I give through the night?
