Hey guys I have super awful news, my duckling pancake who was the perfect duckling I helped hatcH has died. I am not really clear how ad just this morning she was running after me and was fat and healthy. Then about 3 hours ago I took her to have a bath and noticed she was having trouble walking but thought she had just knocked her foot as I saw no sign of damage. I put hem to bed then when I went to go to go feed the disabled one about half an hour ago I found pancake couldnt walk or hold her head up.
Now I know about vitamin b d efficency and hae been giving them brewers yeast but maybe not enough ?? One of my older ducks showee these symptoms once but not as server and I found her in the day so I took her to the vet and she got a calcium and vit b shot and was perfect the next morning. But as it is night that wasnt an option. I tried to get her to take a couple of droos f vit supplimet and some brewers hast mixed with water but by this point she had no eyelid response, couldnt open her mouth or cheep she died hile I was holding her. I am heartbroken as she was my first successful htchling and imprinted duckling and I loved her so much!
So do you guys think it was vit b dificency ?? I just thought the symptoms took more time to get that severe and kill?? It was ni more then 4 hours from when the firt symptom was shown to death.
I thought maybe botulism to? But they are inside ducks and get new water and food every day?
Please help guys imformation would be great I feel like I shouldnt hatch babies anymore cause I am so bad at it and even my most healthy one has died! At least I still have little lemon who is a whacky duck but as long as he keeps fighting ill help him.
I feel awful guys any inf would be great as you have all been so good to me so far thanks guys !!!!

so more sad news guys my other duckling the crested baby has come down with the same syptoms and it isnt looking good. This time I looked into it more and I am thinking we have poisoning. Specifically insectaside. We had a pest man in the the other day and he sprayed in my room where the ducklings were. Stupidly I thought if it was toxic he would have told me to remove the ducklings or wouldnt spray near them I also would have expected him to tell me the residue would continue to be toxic for days to come and the ducklings shoupd stay out of the house. He told me none of this. Didnt even warn or caution me. Now I know I am to blame to I should have kept the babies out of the house but I just thought if it was so bad he would have told me!!!! I am so upset and hoping the baby will make it through but I am not hopeful. From now on all my ducklings will be raised outside. I cant beleive after all they have been through they are dying. It is awful. I feel awful I will let you kniw what happens.
