Should I put my duckling down? ):

[viennaproto]

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.

I hope she gets better

@casportpony would probably be able to advise you on what this outcome might be. I wish I could tell you what’s best but I can’t. Is she have trouble breathing?

Just got a call from the vet, unfortunately she passed away. Poor ginger, she lived a spoiled and great life.
