Chrissy just drank the water and left the lettuce (chopped fine) alone.... C'mon girl. You NEED to eat. Two pellets in 4 days isn't enough...

What I don't get is she acts ready to eat, clearly thinks about it, and then spits it out... She blows bubbles in her water dish, quacks and tries to push the vetericyn bottle away when I spray her head, and repositions herself in her crate. But she refuses even the softest and most watery food.

Hunger strike?

Have you tried peas? Or wet cheerios? My ducks could never refuse either of those.

Got crumbles? Something smaller than pellets but dry, not watered down?

A lot of mine wouldn't eat their food wet down into mush... even though they get their own food wet a lot of times...

Just picked up a bag, actually

Don't have peas... I'll try the Cheerios and crumble (no autocorrect, I'm not feeding her criminals) tomorrow.

Raw Fish or crickets ?.Go to the pet store get a couple of live cheap feeder fish and drop a couple in her water dish . Anything you can think of try. If the wounds are scabbed over and there is no sign of infection . Spraying won't do much good . So give her a break . Treating wounds can be stressful .

Maybe....Was also thinking about nightcrawlers chopped small. That's her favourite treat.

Her wounds are open, not scabbed.

Live movement might entice her to eat . let the worms wiggle . .
