2 week old duckling having a Seizure?

[Shellysstuff7]

Also there's a chance of a bad batch of bedding or feed with mold toxins in it. Since by the look of it the ducklings are not outdoors and are in a brooder so they aren't exposed to much. If it was me, I'd consider ditching all the bedding and feed and getting a new supply of each. It can be really hard to narrow down what's going on, but for $20, it might be worth just changing all the feed and bedding just in case one of those is the culprit.

I have changed their food and bedding sense this started happening. I don't know what else to do.

Make sure they have grit available if you are giving them these extra treats.

I sprinkle it on the treats when I feed them.

Hmmm? Well I'm a very simple person with simple replies.
I'm thinking it has a neurological issue and will die. Possibly you can prolong its life with support but in the end it's going to pass...Sadly all don't make it. Proper feed at a balanced nutrition is key...

I can't upload

If you could upload a video that would be helpful!
My ducks stretch their legs out like what your duck is doing.
They do it one leg at a time!!

I think I finally got the video to upload. It isn't long but it shows her breathing hard. When I picked her up her heart was beating so fast!

Maybe? Nope guess not! I can't get it to work. It is only 4 seconds long. She is just like the picture shows but she is breathing kinda hard.

Videos need to be uploaded to Vimeo or YouTube or something and then linked on BYC

I think you uploaded the picture again.
I would use my own judgment. If you think it's an actual seizure than it probably is.
I hate to hear that!
I guess some are born with neurological problems.
I would be afraid it might be a contagious virus.
Without a trip to the vet you might not know.
It also could be a vitamin deficiency.
I am sending prayers to your sweet baby and tou!

I’d at least try to help her. I’d go to TSC and pick up some liquid b complex and start her on it at 1 ml per day over a tasty treat so she gets. A full dose. Sometimes even with the best feed they can still have a deficiency. It isn’t an expensive treatment and to me worth trying since there is always a possibility it can help. It’s in the cattle dept and it says injectable but just pull off the foil and suck up a ml and add to her treat.

Thank you! I double checked but it won't let me upload the video. It just turns it into a picture.

Thank you! I will have my husband pick some up.
