Please help!! Max, our sweet 3 month old Muscovy, can't walk. About 5 weeks ago, we started treating him for niacin deficiency. He had a bout of it when he was young. Then about 4 weeks ago, we had a babysitter feed him the wrong food for about 4 days and when we got home, he couldn't walk. We checked to make sure he didn't have an injury like a slipped tendon. When he is in water, both legs work just fine. So now, after 5 weeks of extra peas, Durvet High Level Vitamin B Complex, nutritional yeast, and water therapy a few times a day, he can "walk" on his elbows. His feet are curled. He uses his wings and bill to help him around too. I want him to get better. I love this boy so much. I do not want him to suffer either. I need some advice. Has anyone else had a similar experience? What were the outcomes? Please, any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
