It’s very hard to lose any of our precious pets. I have a senior dog too14.5 yrs now. I hope we can keep him healthy for quite sometime still. Yours too, they are family♥️

I am so sorry you lost him. :hugs I doubt very much if it's your fault you were doing everything you could to help him. He just had too much going on for his body to get over it. Please don't blame yourself. I am so sorry we couldn't do more to help.

Maybe this will help. do you wrap him in a towel like a burrito to keep him calm? https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-to-give-pills-to-ducks.1246505/

No I haven’t but I think if you used it just swiping it across the nares it wouldn’t be the same as ingesting it.

Thanks for updating. I sure hope the antibiotics will get him through this. You can use VetRX too if he seems to be having any difficulity breathing it is similar to vicks rub for us humans. but it's liquid so I swipe it across their nares with a cotton ball so it doesn't actually run down into...

I really don’t know that is something you’ll have to research. Did you take him in to the vet?

They can get poop from him and check for parasites. I hope someone will help you 🙏

When I give meds I make sure to hold the tongue down when I open the bill so I can see where to put the syringe. Having the liquid go into the lungs can cause pneumonia so you want to make sure you get it in the right place. If you can get someone to help that might help you get someone to hold...

I hadn't heard of a drake having a calcium deficiency but I did find this information which says it does happen. https://www.versele-laga.com/en/gb/for-your-animal/cage-and-aviary-birds/care/how-to-recognise-and-avoid-calcium-deficiency-in-birds

I sure hope all your doing helps. I don't know if I gave you this info but this shows how to give liquid meds with out causing aspiration. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/safely-administering-oral-medications-to-all-poultry-and-waterfowl.73335/

I would let him have water therapy a couple times a day to get his legs moving and get the circulation going. Having him do some water therapy would be easier than forcing him to get up and move. Is he eating?

And your sure this isn't a niacin deficiency sure sounds like it could be.

Poultry cell, if you decide to use the activated charcoal get the capsules then just open it up and add to his water via instructions on the info I gave you.

It's in the antacid section the activated charcoal. I'd start your Pekin on 1ml daily. You can always add more.

Def get the poultry cell into him. here is how to administer safely. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/safely-administering-oral-medications-to-all-poultry-and-waterfowl.73335/ If you suspect toxin here is the info on that...

Of course they pick up on one off. And it’s their duty to run it off so the hurt sick etc won’t draw in a predator. Since you’re seeing weak legs I suggest you go for liquid BComplex and start him on it ASAP. It may not be a niacin def but since his legs are weak and he’s not eating much the b...
