was followed by a charcoal suspension to absorb and flush out any toxins the ducklings may
have ingested. The product on the ducklings was a petroleum based substance giving off a

We placed the ducklings in LBAH's Hot Room and immediately administered
warm fluids to fight dehydration. As the picture on the right shows, these ducklings were
immediately given a warm bath.
Please note
that washing wildlife that has been exposed to toxins is a complicated and delicate
procedure. To ensure safety to the animal and yourself, only qualified animal
"rehabbers" should clean and treat the animals. To read more about the actual
