Tube Feeding Ducks - Updated 5/7/2020

[auce99]

When I do it, I sit with my thighs parallel to the ground and them on my lap facing right (I am right-handed). I hold them tightly & close to my body with my left arm and keep their mouth open with my left hand. That leaves my right hand free to hold the syringe.

I considered doing it like that, initially, but he's still so squirmy, even wrapped in a towel! But I can see where that might be easier.

I DO want to get comfortable with this. I have 5 ducks - I can't imagine this will be the last time I need to tube feed. I can hope it is, but I'm realistic.

Thank you for your expertise!
