Baby Duck with leg problems
I want to say I saw a post where someone said 100mg. I got some at Walmart the other day as well but they only had 500mg tabs. I'm scared I'll give her too much. -
Baby Duck with leg problems
I'm still new to this site. Is there a way to "tag" her? -
Baby Duck with leg problems
so, today I went out and got poly-vi-sol without iron. How much am I supposed to give? Do I give it just to her or put it in the water for all of my ducks? I called a local vet ( does not handle ducks ) and they said they have seen this case before and after referring them to the closest vet... -
Baby Duck with leg problems
I haven't been giving any add'l niacin because the food that I purchase has some in it and I've been told that you can give too much and it actually hurt the duck. I don't really know the age of the duck since it was a rescue but she still has feathers coming in. I have been giving her... -
Baby Duck with leg problems
I know this post is from 2012 but one of the ducks that I have recently rescued has this SAME issue and I haven't been able to find anything. We're you able to find out either what was wrong or did you find something that helped? -
HELP!!!
So, I got 4 Pekin ducklings about 3 months ago and I'm pretty sure I ended up with 3 males and 1 female. So, to make it even my husband and I went to a local livestock auction and purchased two female Pekins. ADORABLE but, you could tell they were NOT taken care of. Poor things were covered in... -
Antibotics or other solution?????
Okay, I will get some today. Yay! Now I feel better because I've felt like I don't know what I've been doing. They are such cute little things! I have some more questions if you don't mind. The same duckling seems to me to be a bit bow legged. ( my husband says I'm looking too much into... -
Antibotics or other solution?????
I went to my local TS to get some yesterday but when I looked on the bag of food that they have been eating it has the niacin in it. I've read that if you give too much it could hurt them so I didn't get any. -

Antibotics or other solution?????
Thank you for responding! Currently we have them set up in a kiddie pool in our extra bedroom. Our house stays at 70 but I have the heat lamp on for them on one side so they can get warmer if the want. Currently we have pine shaving in the bottom for them. It does get wet from time to time from... -

Sickly Duckling??
Just got home from work and he seems to be doing much better!! He's actually grooming himself. Still very wobbly but he's actually up on his feet! His poop today looks to be back to the normal. Praying it gets better! -
