Traumatic duck death/ other ducklings lethargic.

You mean going and getting older ducklings to add to these. Of course it will be fine you just have to introduce them slowly. Sometimes you can introduce and everything goes great but a lot of times it works out best to let them meet through fencing and live side by side for a week or more and let them have supervised time together. Ducks are flock critters and to them the more the merrier but it can take. Bit of time to get them there. When I introduce newbies I toss mealworms out on the ground and let everyone eat together which can help them integrate easier.

Still alive this morning! I will be giving them a swim today in the bath. I saw them walking around last night and eating. I have so much hope for these 2.

That's great news. Sure hoping so.

A little update. The treatment plan has changed. The littlest one has taken a turn for the worse and I hear respiratory issues. Back to terramycin.

I'm suddenly noticing black diarrhea in the sick one.

I really hope your babies make it. I have 11 ducks and they’re my babies so can only imagine how heartbreaking this has been for you

 

[Miss Lydia]

I didn't know you had stopped the Terramycin. That's like a 7 days course isn't it?

Yes, I was told to stop it and use the metroplex instead. Am I allowed to continue all 3 medicines at the same time?

I have no idea, Your saying 3 what is the 3rd one. @Isaac 0 rec you start them on the Terramycin? That was the one for respiratory?

Here is what metronidazole is used for

Terramycin for respiratory, changed to Metro Plex for botulinum, then changed to corrid just now. Because nothing is working. They just kept getting worse, none of the symptoms went away. Infact they just keep getting worse or dying, regardless of medicine. So she switched me to corrid today, and had me start terramycin again. They've been sick since last Sunday.

New symptom I've noticed too, on eye looks constantly watery
