Put it on low and keep turning her.Yes - she wouldn't get too hot with the pad would she?
The ironic part about this is that I was JUST headed there to put a floatation object in the tank for frogs that get stuck in there sometimes. Now I'm definitely going to build something like a ramp, I've lost a duck to this wretched tank too :'(With your stock tank keeping something that floats like a ramp made of wood in the stock tank can be the difference between life and death for unfortunate birds that accidentally fall in. Good luck with your hen I've got my fingers crossed for her.
Could I possibly use a heat lamp instead or is a pad preferable?Put it on low and keep turning her.
I prefer a pad with them wrapped in a sleeping bag. We have lots of stock tanks here, so I get to do this a few times a year. If you can get them to the point where they are shivering they usually make it.Could I possibly use a heat lamp instead or is a pad preferable?
Yeah. Keep monitoring her. Hopefully she survives!I don't have VetRX but I assume that can be found at any feed store? If she makes it through the night I will get her some tomorrow
At the very least folks who see this will get the memo that they need to keep an eye out for incidents like this and hopefully make ramps of their own. Speaking of irony I guess there may also be some in losing a duck to drowning. I just saw these wire mesh design ramps and they seem like they would provide easy grip and not be slippery.The ironic part about this is that I was JUST headed there to put a floatation object in the tank for frogs that get stuck in there sometimes.
