And it was apparently a deficiency issue. AFLAC has gone days without a seizure now.

Thanks

Such goodness and a big relief for you I'm sure. Just be sure to keep it up till at least 10 weeks old.
 
I found my 5-week Cayuga duckling on it's back this morning with the other ducks. I'm at the vet and they have her on oxygen and gave her antisezure meds. Running blood tests, checking for thiamine deficiency. I supplement the duck's regular diet of Manzuri Waterfowl feed with fresh vegetables, quinoa/oatmeal, nettles tea and occasional ground up hard boiled eggs.

About 3 weeks ago when the Cayugas were still in my bedroom, I woke up to hear one flopping in the water bowl. I ignored the noise for about 10 mins because they would play. I got up to check and one was on its back stretched out and I thought it was dead. I picked it up, warmed it up and within 10 mins it was running around, eating and drinking. I'm wondering if that was a seizure too back then.

If It was on its back in the water bowl. It was most likely a seizure, I hope everything goes well with your ducklings.
 
I just got a call from the vet. She said she found a piece of metal (x-ray) so she is treating the duckling for metal poisoning. Too big to pass so she is doing some kind of flushing from the system treatment. Her blood sugar level. Vet said she could have picked up that piece of metal from anywhere, including the feed. I'll keep you posted on her recovery.

Penny died today. They could not save her. She beat her black wings one last time and her spirit left her body. They wrapped her in a soft cloth and I wait for the rain to stop so I can bury her. I may just go out there in the rain anyway. She liked the water and the rain, like any self-respecting duck so maybe it's a way to honor her. Earlier today when the sun came out, I saw for the first time, the iridescent green on the top of the Cayuga's heads. Life goes on.
