Just saw the vet, and she said that it looks like a niacin deficiency. I’ve been giving her a good 2ml daily of the High level b complex for 2-3 weeks now. I really thought it would have been corrected by now. Should I be giving her more? I read a pretty discouraging post by John Metzer that...

Thank you! Me too. I’m so afraid to get bad news, but I can’t keep watching her struggling so much. They’re 8 weeks old now.

Thank you so much - this link is great!! While I was looking around, I actually found a vet that will see ducks. I made an appointment to bring her tomorrow, so hopefully they’ll be able to give me some more insight and finally help her. I’m a little worried about bringing her there myself -...

I haven't tried making a shoe yet. I have been researching a little on how to do this - any advice on the best way to go about it? It could honestly be anything, I'm just so confused. She does walk around a little bit, and it doesn't always fold like that...but it does happen regularly...

I've been using the High Level B-Complex every morning and adding an electrolyte/probiotic supplement to their water. Annie still is having major problems walking. She seems stiff-legged, and always tucks her tail while she's trying to walk around. She takes a couple of awkward steps, but...

Thank you so much! I looked up Riboflavin deficiency, and it does sound a lot like her, though I guess a lot of the symptoms are similar across different issues. I’m going to keep up the Duravet and hope that it gets better. I have an electrolyte/probiotic combo (similar to the save-a-chick)...

Thank you so much! I’m going to add another feeder and see if that helps her. I do have food available all day except I remove it before bed each night (since I found the one duckling had passed during the night from what looked to maybe be choking, I can’t bring myself to leave food in at...

Do you mind if I pick your brain on another concern with Annie? I’m not sure if her slower development and smaller size is something I should be concerned about - what do you think? She’s still growing and eating and all, but she’s behind in a couple ways: -the others have lost all of their...

I didn’t hatch these guys - they were from Meyer Hatchery. I have to look further into findomg a vet in our area - I know that we don’t have any avian vets nearby and our local vets unfortunately don’t see “livestock”.

Here is the Niacin powder that I’m using in their water - 1/8-1/4 tsp per gallon

Watching her, it seems like the “lame” foot switches sides. She just doesn’t use both feet correctly but it does seem like she is able to move them at times. Do you think it’s related to niacin?

It’s been going on at least since they were 2 weeks old, but I think probably much earlier. I just unfortunately didn’t really know to look for it since these are our first ducks. I’m using Duravet High Level B-Complex and giving her 1ml a day over mealworms (I tried the syringe but felt like...

Thank you! Here are a few photos, and I’m working on uploading a video... will send the link as soon as it’s ready. Hopefully I can figure it out! 😬

Hello all! I've posted about my little Annie before - she's now 7 weeks old. She has always been a bit of a runt and from very early on was walking less and sitting more than her sisters and brother. I've been supplementing her for the last 2/3 weeks with vitamin B-Complex, in addition to...
