Why did the duckling die in the bathtub?

The main reasons why ducklings die in the bath are:

The temperature is not suitable, and the ducklings are not fully developed, which requires high environmental temperature. The temperature should be around 30℃ for the first few days, and then it should be kept at 20-25℃ ... If the temperature is too high or too low, they may die.

The duckling didn't blow dry the water in time after taking a bath, which led to the drop of body temperature and death.

So can ducklings take a bath? What if I can't stand up after taking a shower?

1. Can the duckling take a bath?

1. Ducks can take a bath, but ducklings within 30 days should try not to take a bath. It is safer to wait until they reach 30 days. If it is launched, the ducklings can start trying it in about 3-5 days. The water depth is about 1-2cm, so it is advisable to wet the duck's feet for no more than 10 minutes.

2. The duckling's temperature regulation ability is poor, so when bathing the duckling, it is best to use warm water and choose sunny days. The weather with the temperature above 25℃ is more suitable for bathing.

3. When the duckling takes a bath, you can't use soap, shower gel and other lotions, otherwise it will destroy the waterproof layer on the surface, which will cause the duckling's villi to be damp and its body temperature to drop, thus causing a cold.

When the duckling takes a bath for the first time, it is not advisable to use tap water.

Second, what should I do if I can't stand up after taking a shower?

1, reason

(1) Ducklings have poor waterproof ability, which is far less than that of adult ducks. After bathing, the villi became wet, which caused the ducklings to be hypothermia, shivering and unable to stand.

(2) Ducks may drink a lot of water when taking a bath, resulting in diarrhea, poor spirits, trembling and inability to stand.

Step 2: Solutions

① When the temperature is high, bathe the ducklings with warm water.

② After bathing, quickly absorb the water from the duckling with a towel or paper towel, and then blow dry the duckling with a hair dryer.

③ After drying the feathers, transfer the ducklings to a warm place to keep warm to prevent colds.

(4) If the ducklings have diarrhea due to bathing, they can be treated by mixing proper amount of oxytetracycline into their usual diet.

abstract

Ducks are born to bathe and swim, so they won't drown. But just born, the resistance is low, and it will be cold if you can't stand water. It's easy to paralyze and die. This will not happen with warm water.

Ducks can take a bath. After pouring warm water into the basin, put the duckling into the basin, and it will instinctively dive into the water to clean its impurities. Bathing ducklings properly at ordinary times can promote activities, so ducklings will become more energetic and eat more.

When bathing ducklings, it is necessary to pay attention that the bathing time should not exceed 10 minutes each time and the number of baths should not exceed 2 times a day. The water depth should be below the duck's feet, and then the water depth and bathing time can be appropriately increased according to the duck's body shape and growth state.

When ducklings are properly bathed in water at ordinary times, it can promote ducklings' activities, make them more energetic and increase their food intake, which is very helpful for their growth.
