Sprinkles will be 7 weeks on Tuesday. We’ve lost both her siblings over the last 3 weeks. She’s been doing quite well, eating and drinking like a champ. She’s become quite the spoiled ducky and wanting to be held or at least where she can see me. She sleeps in a big clear Rubbermaid tub next to our bed. Last night she was up every hour and would cry if she wasn’t being held by me. I would hold her and she’d go back to sleep for an hour or so then wake up again. I offered fresh food and fresh water each time she awoke. She’s barely drank anything since last night, literally maybe two sips and has eaten nothing. Her poop is runny and was just black. And this morning, she kept jerking her neck to one side. If I was holding her and gently petting her it would stop so I wondered if she was having some sort of muscle spasm. I tried a little bit of applesauce thinking that might appeal to her. No luck. Added a few drops of acv in her water, again just one little sip. This is a little duck who usually dances when she sees me fixing her food and she wants nothing to do with it. She is asleep in her bed right now. Any suggestions?
