3 nights ago, our two ducks (1.5 year old Pekin Male, 2.5 year old Saxony female) were attacked by a mink or weasel. I awoke at 4am to my dog (so proud of him) barking and growling incessantly out the window in the direction of our duck run. I was concerned for our little guys, and went out to check on them. Much to my horror, they were both covered in blood, laying in the rain. Our Saxony was laying with her neck outstretched, motionless and I thought she was dead for sure. Our Pekin was flopping around, trying to stand. Thank God they were both alive. I immediately brought them inside, dumped some shavings in a corner of my house, and set up a heat lamp and some fresh water. They both drank a teeny bit, but mostly just stayed still. The bleeding stopped within a couple hours . Once stores opened up, I went and got some poultry electrolytes and ordered pure b vitamin supplements online. That first day, I mostly spent varmint-proofing their run and coop. They have been outside for two days eating and drinking, but hardly eating compared to normal. Today when I got home from work, our Saxony was standing in her coop with her head hung low, bill on the ground. We brought her back inside and gave her more electrolyte water, fed her mashed chick starter with b vitamins and milk thistle powder mixed in through a syringe. she ate about 2tbsp of it before she had enough with our fussing. She was doing better for an hour or so, but her head is now drooping again. We moved both of our ducks inside for the night (it's getting down into the 30s at night and our Saxony is still recovering from wetfeather and not entirely waterproofed yet). They are both still very lethargic and clumsy, but they waddle around and bathe and flap their wings. I don't know what to do from here. I just want our babies to be healthy.
She is like this all the time, except for the hour or so after we fed her with the syringe. Help?!?
