Sick Swan: Can't stand, skinny, white lice, pink wings and tail

Hi,

Maybe you can help, I have a female swan on our lake she made a nest two months ago but we did not see any eges and now she has abandoned it but she is not in good condition she is very skinny and cant stand als I have found white lice on she and her wings and tail has turned pink. I started feeding her with bread, boiled ege, muesli, wheetabix and water she is eating all of it.

Can you tell me if I am doing the right thing?

regards
Martin Quinn
