Hi all!
I have 4 pekin ducklings that are a month old and already large. I have been treating them for upper respiratory issues. They were on bactrim but after one still wheezing badly, they are on oxytetracycline. They get kalmbach farms flock raiser crumble and I have orally been giving them .3 -.4 ml of the Rooster Booster liquid b12 with vitamin k. The vet suggested a full b complex. I came here and started reading and now I am worried I am not giving the right amount. The sickest duckling likes to rest on its hocks. They all can get up and moving and their legs seems fine once they do but they like to plop and not move even when roaming...which is in the garage right now because the weather has been awful. I gave them buckets for water and an open container for their crumble which is raised so they can't lazily dip their beaks in, they have to stand. Still, the 2 smaller ones like to rest on tbeir hocks. If anyone can tell me if I am giving too much, not enough or if there is a better way of doing this all, please let me know. I am so worried about these no so little ones. I want them to have long, happy, healthy lives. Thanks in advance.
