The Duck Thread

[tonisummers]

Perhaps you can PM casportpony or look into her posts in archives about antibiotics.  Generally, one needs to weigh the little one and give medications based on mg of medicine per kg of body weight.

I put some antibacterial ointment on where the wound was. I can't see it because of all his fluff, but he also seems to be growing a lot slower than the others. By far. I'm worried since he's the one that's had problems. He seems to not want to walk, and he puts his head down at times and sometimes not. I don't understand it. Also a weird thing he keeps doing is turning his tail. Like he will sit there and turn his tail in like he can't control it. He does it in both directions? He doesn't poop either when he does it.

The duckling needs a vet right away. It is likely there is an infection. This could be fatal.

Duckling may also need supplements. That would not heal an infection, though.

Did you contact casportpony or look up the information on antibiotics There is no time to spare. Do not delay getting help.

@tonisummers this x 100000, it sounds like your little one is quite poorly. Your vet should be able to prescribe the correct antibiotics

Yes I did contact them. But I didn't get much help, since my little one died in the night.

I will try to get some this weekend. Mine fly back and forth to our stock tank. Most spend the day here and take off at sundown to spend the night on the tank. One of our new girls took off in a different direction one night and I thought she was leaving us but she just circled the house and came right back down. I was so excited.
