Ok, must be one of those months because now I to have a new little baby in need. My brother and his friend were out for a walk and came across a little baby duck all alone in the road. If that isnt bad enough, the poor little guy seems to have a cut of some sort on its neck. Everyone is thinking bite, but we are not sure. If it is a bite, the little puff ball is very lucky, because it doesnt seem to have hit any blood veins. But the bite is bad enough that I will be searching around for a vet to take a look at it. My father says that in this area, I prolly wont be able to find someone willing to do anything but put it down. I still plan on calling around anyways. Another thing he told me, is that ducks can't be put on any meds. I will be looking into that to (not that I dont beleive him)
The little baby has to be only a couple days old, because it still has the mark of its horn (they are born with to help them get out of their shells). Right now its in a huge tupperware box at the end of the bed. It has some grass and water. Our biggest fear is it stressing out. Because it is wild, there is a chance that it will beat its self to death trying to get out. It is a sleep right now and if the poor thing starts acting like a normal baby its age, I will post up some pictures. And maybe we can all figure out what breed of duck the little on is. I am pretty sure it might be a wood duck. If it is a wood duck that might be another reason for its "cut". Wood ducks are born in the trees, so it could of fell out, and that would also give reason why my brother couldnt find its mother. Ducks are very loyal mothers.
I will be stopping by a farm feed store tomorrow to get some food.
