The duckling is 2 weeks old and did have some leg weakness for a day but is now walking fine and running too with no problems. It just pants at night sometimes
Really? that makes me feel so much better. Im sitting over here bawling reading the symptoms and thinking that she will die soon if she has this disease but ive been literally cleaning the bedding daily so I am like maybe that isnt the case. She also eats and drinks and moves so she isnt acting...

i love that! Is there aplace for the heat lamp? I just have to figure that out. Also could you paste a link to the kiddy pool? Just so I coujld see the sizes and order online, I would really appriciate it.
Yes I gave him lots of water in a bowl as opposed to his usual water feeder so he can directly drink it. The brooder I have is very large its a 50 gallon tub I wonder if he doesnt realize he is hot and just stays in a corner sometimes. Either way I feel that my ducks do not prefer the heatlamp...
