Trouble with assisted call duckling

[FoodFreedomNow]

Adorable!! I'd just keep putting ointment on the navel and hopefully it will just keep getting smaller...the ones I've seen where a (healed) small black bump remains eventually fall off.

It looks like the nicitating membrane may at least be partially covering the duckling's eye, probably because it's irritated or painful. I'd keep applying Terramycin Ophthalmic ointment and monitor it.

A little weak but she drank some water. Just got her into the brooder. I will try food soon. I have to quickly go pick up another bag.

The little one didn’t make it. Not sure what happened.

Oh I'm so sorry!

So sorry

Oh I'm so sorry!

So sorry

Thanks. I don’t know what happened. He was energetic when I left to get the food this morning and when I got back he was dead.

It’s always heartbreaking when they try so hard.

Sure is.

You tried...and s/he tried. Sometimes, it just doesn't seem like it's meant to be. My condolences.
