Also if you have a vet close by ask them if they will treat a duck or know anything about them, maybe some vets that treat farm animals will have some knowledge or can look it up on how to treat. How is she acting this afternoon, and I just came in and found a message from a BYC member I had asked her about what antibiotic would be used for this she rec. Tylan 200 it can be bought at feed stores.
This is so heart breaking when we can't do more than offer support and what advise we can give. If they can't see her tomorrow get the Tylan 200 and start giving it to her. I'm praying too.She gets worse and worse as the day wears on. I sat in her cage with her and you can see how sad she looks. Her eyes look a lot less healthy than they did a day ago. The feathers around her eyes are wet. Her tail is down instead of having it up and being happy and perky with her tail up. She hasn't preened since this morning. She doesn't even spare the energy to put her nose in her feathers do sleep, instead she just droops it over her chest. She tried to crawl up in my lap to cuddle but needed me to help her because she couldn't pick her legs up enough to get on me.
I don't know what to do. Even if the doctor is in tomorrow, I wonder who much they can help. I started crying just looking at her, who know what will happen if I lose her.
I just have to keep telling myself that she'll be alright. And who knows? Maybe she will pull through.
My prayers on her tonight. I am sure I won't be able to sleep tonight anyways.
