Another update. She was doing pretty well standing walking minimally. We went away this wknd and had food and water out for her. I fed her friday at 11 am . But she died today (Sunday) shy 8 hours of us getting home -she died 9 am ish and we got home 5pm. I’m in shock. We had an ill duck for...
Wanted to give an update. I’m so happy to report Suzy started standing to eat 2 days ago and today was first day she walked out of pen on her own. Daily I was giving handful of meal worms with sprinkle of brewers yeast, sprinkle of metzer waterfowl supplement in water daily. Yesterday I finally...
Sorry for delay I kept forgetting to take pictures of her feet. Does anyone see any issues that maybe I overlooked -they looks fine to me? She stood a little more today but still using her wings to balance and. Or walking only crawling with entire leg on ground.
I have been giving her brewers yeast and that waterfowl powder. Peas grapes worms and duck feed. Not much is changing she’s swimming perfectly and feisty. She is grooming herself but not 100%. I read somewhere it could take at least a week to heal so I’m hoping that’s true. I didn’t give her the...
We have ptsd from trying to tube feed a duck 3 years ago it did not end well. Just to confirm I can take a needle take some of this vitamin B out pictures abone and put it on a treat and that’s okay it’s for injecting but it’s okay for her to eat orally? It says high potency but it’s from 3...
I can take a better pic of feet when my husband gets back home. We inspected them and they are completely normal. She was standing on her legs when she started declining was at first just off balance. Can I give this orally in her water ? Thank you !!
Aw great news for sugar ! Her legs and feet are perfectly fine she just doesn’t seem to have the strength to stand straight up. She was when she was declining first 2 days at least standing but was wobbly now it’s not standing at all. When I put her down after carrying her out of pond etc she...
Sorry to hear. I was reading last night let’s can go limb from niacin deficiency but with adding the vitamins and tlc they recover in a week - did sugar recover ? Thanks
Thank you! She was standing and walking at first thought when she first started to not be well so I’m guessing it couldn’t be a strain. I only have the injectable vitamin B I read I can’t give that orally so I’ll go to store and find a liquid one tmrw. Thanks and so sorry to hear about your...

Yea now I know - thanks for advice. I watched stupid diy videos that filled a plastic tub with lid. I did exactly that cut hole filled it etc.past 2-3 baths over winter inside in my tub were fine- this was first bath outside - ugh! I am hoping she will be okay she ate snacks I gave her seeds...
Thank you for the honest advice I’ve only owned chickens for 2 years. This is her 3rd bath and I googled a bunch before hand. You’d think someone would have shared hey don’t let them go under water. Is there a way to know if she got water in air sac that is going to kill her?
Hello I gave my chicken a butt bath with Epsom and Dan soap a Few times but just now she flipped upside down and kept going under water freaking out so I let her out and now she’s trying to catch her breath I kept petting her and keeping her awake she’s breathing better and more alert but...
