Sick Duck with seizures *update and more questions*

Date sort Score sort
This EXACT same thing just happened to my little duck Vinny about three weeks ago. He was in a play pen, and all of a sudden fell over onto his stomach with his head all the way bakwards, stiff as a bored. After about 10 seconds he Rebooted and went back to normal. He's been fine ever since... probably a seizure. we thought maybe vinny slipped on the tiles in his pen and hit his head, but we never knew for sure.
 
Ehh! I can't think of my innocent little ducks porkin' lol. They seem like babies to me still! I thought maybe Zombie had an egg stuck or something but we can check that off since its too young. I cant figure out what my ducks are. Some are quiet, some are loud, but none have the drake feather. Shouldnt they have the drake curl by now?? I havent heard Zombie quack since its fainting spells so I'm not sure which it is. It's just for sure the smallest duck of the 7.

That happened to you too?? Ah so I'm not the only one. It's scary isnt it? One minute you're planning a duck funeral in your head, and the next you watch it hop back on its feet as if nothing happened. What kind of duck is he? I hope Vinny is okay! Do you have a picture of him?
 
Rest in Peace little Zombie

Poor Zombie. It really sounds like some defect he was born with. At least you made his brief life a good one: food, friends and a pool. What more could a little duck ask for?

Hugs for you. I'm sorry for your loss.
 
My little duckling does the same thing. He actually just did it in my hands and scared the life outta me. I dont know what to do. Hes not growing like the other ducklings and he actually looked like he was doing well and then spazed out.

Is your duckling crested? Are you supplementing with plain niacin or B complex or brewer's yeast?

That's okay. Crested means they have a little puffy poof on their heads, kind of looks like a cotton ball. Could be small or large.

Brewer's yeast is a nutritional supplement. Call around - might be at a drugstore, big box grocery store, GNC, health food store. You can buy it online. Not baking yeast. Not wine or beer making yeast. Brewer's yeast nutritional supplement.

Sometimes it is easier to find a B complex vitamin and dissolve that in water. Use 150 mg B3 per gallon of drinking water (look in the ingredients and find the amount of B3 in the vitamin.
