2 week old duckling having a Seizure?

[slippednfell]

Definitely try the B Complex! It seems to be working for my baby! Almost 48 hours without any issues sense starting them on it! Also be sure to give them room temperature water. That was a suggestion as well from these wonderful people! This forum is AMAZING and I have learned so much already!!! Hope your babies will be ok! It's so scary when it happens and you have no clue what to do to help them!!!!

That is great to hear! I'm so happy yours are doing so much better!

I do make sure I give warm water and they are nearly ready to go out on their own but I have ordered the yeast flakes I saw mentioned and hopefully that will help. I have four ducks and only one has these "seizures". The neck twists back and she flops around, once winding up flat with her back legs spewed out. I am hoping the yeast flakes solve it.

Yeast flakes for added niacin because they need it if being fed feed for chickens but liquid BComplex when one is already having a problem it works faster an better.

I have 3 ducks and only 1 having the seizure. She had most of her seizures on her back. If the nutritional yeast doesn't work then definitely try the B Complex. Hope your babies do well on the nutritional yeast!!

Thank you! I am going to see if our feed store has the B complex and try that.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my little duck is doing GREAT!!! She hasn't had any more seizures sense I got her on the B Complex.
