She had fallen into a pond we are trying to remove. It’s full of rainwater but they can’t get out.

Do you think she fell in because of the dizzying or she is dizzy because of the shock and exhaustion?

Tried to post video won’t let me. It’s like she’s been spinning.

You can upload a video to YouTube or Vimeo and post a link here to see the video. It sounds like there is some neurological symptoms. Has she taken any water or food? I would offer some sugar water (1 tsp per cupful,) and some watery chicken feed and some egg. Is she alert enough to eat and swallow? Make sure that she is good and dry, and a hairdryer may help. I know very little about ducks, but she might have been injured beforehand or she could have eaten something bad for her that could have had botulism toxin. How old is she? Could a rooster or a drake have hurt her? I would consider giving her a human vitamin E softgel 400 IU daily along with some cooked egg for selenium. I will tag @Miss Lydia for suggestions.
 
I never heard from anyone but

I just did what made sense from my experience.

Warmed her
Dried her
Kept her isolated

She’s back with the flock now completely fine.

I had her tagged as trouble when she was younger. But I can’t remember what happened. Angel wing or another drowning incident.

I need to keep track better but it’s hard when they all look alike
