I will try to get a longer video if she does it again! It really doesn't show much.

It worked and def a seizure. Okay first off what happens right before she has one? is she in the dark and a light gets turned on? is she startled in any other way? Asking because other reason can contribute to seizures also. Loud noise. light getting turned on from darkness or startled from any other reason?

I don't think there's any lights going on or her getting startled. I was home this morning and it was quite in the house then I heard a kind of thud and the other 2 started peeping so I went to check on them and that's what I found.

Okay just trying to rule out other reasons some have had their ducklings seizure from these types of things.

I'd give the b complex a try sure can't hurt and maybe just what she needs.

My husband is going to pick some up on the way home. Should I give it to them all? I could feed them separately that way one doesn't get to much.

@DuckyDonna put it on her ducks feed I'd try giving it separately over something yummy so you know each one is getting just what they need. Or give this little one the B complex and put Nutritional yeast over the feed of the others if they aren't showing any symptoms. 1 Tab per cup of feed I sprinkle over top of feed and then use my finger to just barely mix it so it doesn't fall to the bottom of the feed bowl.

Do you think I should give them the nutritional yeast if they are on duck feed? This is what I am giving them. Thank you so much for all the advice!!! I hope it works for her!!

Yes, try the b complex!!! A long time ago one of my ducklings had the same type of repeated seizures and it was a niacin deficiency. Very scary to watch, but it had a simple solution.

Someone else also mentioned this, but: make sure their drinking water is warm! Cold water can also shock a duckling.
