The following story and image about wood ducks was shared with us by in Colorado.
EmerAid IC Herbivore provided critical nutritional support for a clutch of six orphaned wood ducklings in care.
After being found wandering alone, their rescuer waited for two hours in hopes the mother would return, but she never did. The ducklings were brought to Greenwood, where licensed rehabilitators performed a full evaluation and placed them in a short-term indoor enclosure.
With a clean bill of health, the focus turned to supportive care and growth. The ducklings were tube-fed EmerAid IC Herbivore, a highly digestible supplemental diet that supported steady weight gain and daily progress.
As they developed juvenile feathers and reached appropriate weight, they were transitioned to outdoor beach enclosures designed with varied substrates to protect their webbed feet. Once fully acclimated and independent, they were successfully released back into the wild.
