I lost one of my LiL Runner girls yesterday and I am wanting to tell you all this so you can be prepared for something like this. I noticed Tuesday that My lil Runner was standing off by herself just not normal for Runners and when the rest of her flock went up the hill to the pool she didn't follow, I saw her standing by the water bucket but never saw her drink and never did see her eating which is very uncommon. So Wednesday with casportpony's help we ordered the stuff to begin tube feeding we're rural so no place here to buy the stuff. Anyway I ordered from Amazon using my 2 days shipping which was delivered on Friday. To late though for Lindy she died in my arms early afternoon yesterday. No outward symptoms at all physically as far as looking at her, but something was terribly wrong. I just want to encourage everyone to make sure your prepared for any type of medical issue, I have a lot of things in my med kit for my animals but I didn't have tube feeding things. Tube feeding may not have cured her but trying to syringe a sick duck is very hard on them and the person doing it and you just can't give them what they need.
I will try anything I can to help one of mine I just wasn't prepared for this.
Lindy is behind Smudge in my Avatar.
I loved that duck RIP My sweet girl.
