    Duckling with splayed/spraddle leg!

    My 2.5 week old duckling just recovered from a bacterial infection and 2 days later, his right leg started stretching outwards and he only walked in one leg! On the third day of this, I realized it was pribably splayed leg and put on splint on it to tie his legs together. He hates it, he never...

    Not sure what’s wrong with my duckling?

    Hmm but with the brewers yeast and herbs I’m sure he’s getting enough niacin and vitamin E? I used a recipe I found somewhere on this forum and their ducklings grew up really healthy!

    Not sure what’s wrong with my duckling?

    I’m using a homemade mix as I coudlnt find feed anywhere! It’s a mix of corn meal, oats, sunflower seeds, lentils, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds. As well, I add some dried herbs for vitamin E and brewers yeast on top too! The recipe I use is 20% protein!

    Not sure what’s wrong with my duckling?

    I called all the vets i could find and none of them could help ducks. I had some amoxicillin at home tho (unexpired) and just have him a tiny pinch every day (with the dosage amounts I found on here). Today is the third day. He has been sleeping all day yesterday and today and not eating nearly...

    Not sure what’s wrong with my duckling?

    My duckling is 15 days old, and recently he had a bacterial infection (I think it was New Duck Disease). He got over it himself, and his main problem (twisting of the neck back and forth) went away in a few days. We have him amoxicillin for two days to help him completely fight off the infection...

    My duckling has Riemerella anatipestifer!

    He got better by himself! I woke up one morning and his neck was no longer twisting from side to side and he was running around super happy. We gave him antibiotics for two days and it helped the wound looking scars on his neck. I’m concerned now because yesterday, he stopped being as cheerful...

    My ducklings are all dying.. HELP!

    Thank you so much! I’m going to try to call my local vet tomorrow and get some antibiotics (although I’m not sure if it’ll work since it’s for a duck and I don’t want to bring him in and stress him out). It’s already been 3 days of symptoms that are getting worse, I hope it’s not too late to...

    My duckling has Riemerella anatipestifer!

    I had 4 ducklings, 3 already died from this disease (not 100% sure but most likely considering their symptoms). The last one is 12 days old, and he’s been having symptoms for the past 3 days, getting worse each day. His neck is all scabbed and his eyes have discharge as well, and he moves his...

    My ducklings are all dying.. HELP!

    Thank you! I cant get him to a vet right now but should I just give him any over the counter antibiotic? He’s only 12 days old and I think there may be a chance for him as he can still eat and drink and doesn’t seem to be in any pain, just discomfort.

    My ducklings are all dying.. HELP!

    Thank you! I’ve been feeding him a homemade mix of grains and seeds (20% protein) + brewers yeast and sprinkled on top. Two of the ducklings died on their back with their legs straight up which was heartbreaking (these were the ones that did not have neck issues but were uncoordinated), and the...

    My last duckling doesn’t have any issues in that area, just the neck problems!

    My ducklings are all dying.. HELP!

    I hatched 4 ducklings from an incubator. The first born had pasty butt when it was it's 10th day, along with the third born who had pasty butt as well. I fixed it by running their vents under warm water but later found that the first born was a bit uncoordinated and started stumbling backwards...
