Thank you!! (:

I’m not so sure about slipping it back in myself, I have no experience and wouldn’t want to end up hurting him further. I would like to try hobbles but at this point with his leg being so extended like that i’m not sure if that could ever go back to normal, but it is worth a shot. I only know of...

I looked into slipped tendon a few weeks ago but didn’t think it was that because it hadn’t progressed to this point yet and still looked much like Niacin deficiency. I’m now looking into slipped tendon and am thinking that it’s very much possible. He still eats and drinks plenty but he walks...

Hi everyone, just an update but he’s only gotten much much worse. I’ve been administering the B complex since I first posted this thread on the 14th. I will include pictures but his right leg is severely pigeon toed and with his left leg he nearly lays it flat on the ground and puts the weight...

Thank you so much. I went to two different stores and all both had for ducklings was Purina Flock Raiser. I needed further options for when they grow older and need less protein, now I know to look on Chewy (: thank you again, it means a lot and is extremely helpful in calming my mind about the...

Thank you so much for this response. It makes me very hopefully that my duckling can have a fulfilling life. I will keep at it with the b complex. They love watermelon so I don’t have much difficulty getting them to eat it. I’ve also been feeding them the Purina Flock Starter. Before getting the...

Hi! My ducks are a week and a half and i’m having similar problems with one of them. Did your duck ever get better?

There is 100mg per 1mL which they are recieving once per day. I understand that I am a beginner and really want what’s best for my ducks, if I thought I was doing all that I can I would not have returned to this thread. I’m sorry if I have said something to upset you, i’ve had many people praise...

B complex has high niacin and the nutritional yeast does as well. Would there be a difference between giving them strictly niacin vs the b complex and yeast? Isaac and Miss Lydia speak highly of the B Complex. & my ducklings are not yet 2 weeks so I don’t believe the bones have begun to form

Yes that is the exact one that I am using. Thank you! I will ask Isaac or Miss Lydia (:

Today is day 5 of the b complex and I added nutritional yeast to their food 2 days ago. I was curious if you or anyone in this thread knows how long it takes to correct the leg problems? I’m worried that since my ducklings legs are still very poor it means it’s not working. But they’ve only been...

I’ve read a lot of good things about B-complex fixing the problem very quickly. But I am always open to other options, so if after a few days the B complex has made no difference I will definitely look into niacin tablets (:

Thank you so much for the info! I will definitely start adding nutritional yeast to their food. I’m so glad that I caught this early enough to give them a chance. Today was my second day giving them a dose and it was slightly easier than yesterday now that i’ve come up with the best ways to get...

I also meant to ask, would it be safe to add Brewer’s yeast to their food while the two of them are still being administered vitamin b? One of the ducklings has no leg problems but takes no interest in the vitamin b treats anyways. I want to give him yeast so that he too doesn’t begin to develop...

I had not yet read your thread, thank you so much. It was extremely helpful. Most threads I saw on here said 1mL so i’m glad you got to me early enough that I can lower the dosage. I will continue dosing through treats as I know I am a beginner and would not want to accidentally drown the birds...

Hi! I am new to raising ducks, this is my first time. I have 3, 1 & a half week old Pekins that I have been feeding Purina flock starter since I got them. I recently noticed that 1 of them is extremely bow legged. Another one is slightly bow legged, and the third one is absolutely fine. I read...
