Wounded cayuga duckling

[Fisherlmiranda]

Her dose would be 1/5 th capsule twice day. Let me see if I can figure out a way or you to do that. Do you have 1 ml syringes?

Yes! So mix the 500mg with 5ml of water?? and give her 1 ml twice a day? How do you recommend giving it to her to make sure she gets it all. And for how many days

Yes, this might work if you can get it to dissolve and not settle to the bottom.

Poor little one! I hadn’t checked in on this for a few days ...

Hope you’re hanging in there, Nurse! You’re doing a great job and I’m sure your little duck is very grateful for all of your effort.

Sending love to the both of you!

I mixed it and then sucked it up with the syringe while it was blended. The rest settled in the cup after a few minutes. But I'm going to give it a good shake every time before using. I'm going to store extra in the fridge. And only mix one pill at a time. Dose that sound ok. Also @Miss Lydia I put it in a cup with a few mashed peas and she gobbled it up. I made sure she ate all of it

That’s great news. How’s it feeling overall?

She is still alert. Has been the whole time. And is eating maybe a little light. But she's eating and drinking consistently. She is still having a hard time walking. But swimming well. She loves to dive under the water. Over all shes a very chipper duck.

Great news all round. Sounds like she is on the road to recovery completely.
