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!

  1. Dang what a nice duck
    Try calling Animal Protection +45 33 28 70 00

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  8. Mortens Aften is in a month, it should be nice and fat by then

  10. 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🥹
