12 Hours Old Duckling- Eyes closed, not standing

[LauMin]

Hello
So this little one is still going... he’s being offered food and water every 3 hours and he’s having a bit.
He’s better today than yesterday but a long way from good. Unable to stand, if helped he will stand but his neck is bent right over between his legs unless I hold it for him. He is opening his eyes but mainly keeps them closed? I’ve attached some photos.
Have any of you had/seen anything similar? And if so do you have any recommendations to help him.
Thank you
He will preen his feathers?? And wiggles his legs a lot to try and stand, but can’t without help.

Do you have any Vitamin E? Not go to the pharmacy an pic up 400ie in the liquid cap form so you can prick the end and drip tiny bits into its mouth. And you’ll need to go to TSC and get Durvet liquid BComplex and start drops of it too both of these can help get this little one over wry neck an this one has a bad case. I believe @Isaac 0 has picture of both of what you need.

Thank you! I sent a message too..
I’m in the UK so we don’t have TSC but once I know the products I can try and find similar things available here.
You’ve been really helpful. Thank you.

Good luck getting what you need! And please let us know how the little one is doing!

Just make sure the vitamin B complex you are getting contains thiamine, and it should not be labeled as Flush-free, No flush, Extended-release or slow-release, please post a picture of what you have before giving the duckling any. I responded to your PM, but I'll say it again, you want human vitamin E Liquid capsules, containing 400iu per capsule, any health store will have them. Like this-

Hopefully everything should arrive tomorrow. We’re on lockdown here and the chemists didn’t have anything close.
BUT he’s doing better today than yesterday so fingers crossed with the vitamins he will do even better. He’s being propped up but there’s no chance he would have done this yesterday.

So awesome! Keep us updated!

Doing better today! Walking and eating and drinking on his own. Wobbly but doing it. Vitamins arrived. How much should he be having?

That's great, could you tell us the vitamins you got, or take a picture?

400 iu vitamin E capsules and liquid vitamin b complex. He’s in the background... standing!!
