3 week old crested not doing well :(

Has anyone seen this issue with the stretching of the neck?

I had a Crested Mallard drake that had similar balancing issues. It did happen less frequently as he aged.

Hi Kevin565!

Hey Amiga!

. It's great to be back.

Update - She is not better and not worse. When she gets excited, she flops around quite a bit, when she is calm, she is wobbly, but gets around. Its been over a week and the vitamins dont seem to be helping as much as I had hoped. Taking her to the vet in the morning to rule out any infection, etc. She does have a large crest, so it could be neurological. If so, I'm just not sure what her quality of life will be like this. My family is so attached to her, I hope she pulls through.

I feel that with TLC, attention to her diet, and time, she will improve. Sounds like she has a loving family. That counts for a lot!

Agreed! The crested I gave to my aunt and cousins is doing better! I believe that my cousin loving her to death has something to do with it. My cousing absolutly adors her and is with her all the time!

**update**. Prim started having very bad seizures, we took her to the vet twice and had to put her down. She was our first duck. We still have her sister and we got three little runner ducks to help fill the void. Thanks for all of the advice.
