URGENT DUCKLING CANT STAND UP.

Mix Betadine solution with *distilled* water so that it looks like tea then dip his umbilicus in it a few times a day. Lower incubator temp to 90 degrees and see how he does. If he seems too hot, lower it. If he seems too cold, raise it a little.

It won't if you go by casportpony's instructions.. you will be killing any bacteria that maybe on his belly. That is the purpose of doing this.So it won't get infected.

Have you been able to get a tiny bit of save a chick in it? make sure it is not on its back when you try. you can wrap it in a soft wash cloth hold it on it's tummy is normal position and try giving it some save a chick water.

Hi I think what your duckling has spradlle leg I think that's what is called. To help out a bandage around it's legs. This will help your duckling stand

@adroit14 another thing you can do is roll a large towel into a donut place the duckling down into the hole with head up this should keep the duckling in normal position.
