This might not be the right thread for this topic, but I don’t know what else to do – so sorry in advance!

Yesterday morning I found a drowning duck in the sea. I’m on vacation close to Hvide Sande right now.
I didn’t know what to do so I took him and warmed him up in the bathroom if my holiday home.
I called a vet clinic, which told me to call 1812. I have been trying that for 24 hours now. They’re not reachable. I called 114 and they said to just keep trying cause they are responsible.

So now I have a duck, who is obviously not doing well sitting in my shower and I honestly don’t know what to do. I don’t think I’ll be able to just leave him out to die. He’s gotten so much better in the last 24 hours.

Does anyone here have any idea who I could contact or talk to?
I’m grateful for any advice!

    Congratulations on your new duck. It looks sweet.

    But 1812 is unfortunately the correct answer here. There really arent any other services for animals in need.

  2. That is a common scoter. Or “sortand” in danish. My guess (without seeing anything but this picture) is that is has been wounded in a hunt by a hunter with a shotgun as the hunting season is right now.

  3. Update: someone from 1812 came to pick him (probably her but I’m not gonna be able to accept that cause his name is Alvin lol) and took him to a vet. It’s not looking good for this little dude cause his feathers are way too wet and won’t isolate him properly. I’m still hoping for him to pull through though🥹
