Can someone please help me save my 4 wk duck?? I love the little guy.?

Question

She is stiff as if she is in rigor mortise, her eyes do not close, her legs are straight back, her neck is stiff . She has a puncture behind her left wing, no blood. Her breathing is very faint, and I can feel her heart beating. The last time I took a duck to the vet, we left with a $400 bill, which we can not afford. Please help.

Answer 1

Your little duck is in bad shape but without going to the vet You should keep it warm and give it some type of energy like karo syrup. Just a drop every hour or so. and put it under some type of lamp for warmth but don't cook it. The sugar should help- it needs energy! GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

Sorry to say but it`s gonna die...

Answer 3

vet or wildlife rehabber. This duck needs antibiotics and fast if it has any chance at all at life. It does not sound good. If it was caught by a cat then it will die very fast as cat saliva is toxic to birds. If the vet accepts injured wildlife it will take the duck and care for it and send it off to rehabber to be rehabbed and released this is free. If not they may recommend a rehabber to you. But they can euthanize if necessary also. Don't want it to suffer. Good luck. Keep it warm and in stress free room until get somewhere.
