Wet feather - please help

[mariajames49]

Hello all I’m hoping you can help me , my khaki Campbell duck has a bad case of wet feather - I have given her a warm bath with some dawn soap but it takes hours for her to dry and she old so I’m ever so worried I will wake up one morning and she will have died. Is there anything I can treat her with to help ?? Do I just need to wait for the moult later in the year for her feathers to be waterproof ??I’ve put some Coconut oil in the water to help not sure if this will help or not.
Thank you Maria

Dawn abd warm bath good. Oil not sure. I hope you blow dried her and are keeping her warm and dry. According to the article wet feather is an invitation to mites and such so check her thoroughly. You've got this.
