Another question about niacin deficiency

[Lacy3816]

So my little duck I think has this deficiency but I had another post where I was told to buy liquid b complex which I am going to do tomorrow morning but I was wondering if one of the symptoms would include at the joint on one leg is hot to the touch and stiff but the other one is fine. I moved the hurt leg just wondering if this would be the reason for the hot leg and no she isn’t too hot

Could it maybe be a slipped tendon? I would read up on those. How does she walk?

 

[Lacy3816]

She hobbles barely can walk and chirps all the time especially if I move her leg but then after I move it for awhile she stops chirping so I don’t know what is wrong except deficiency she’s been to the vet far as I know nothing is Brocken all they told me was weak leg. I just didn’t know what it meant for her leg to be hot at the joint and a little stiff

Is it her ankle joint? Can you take a picture and post it here?

 

[HeatherKellyB]

Also, how old is the duck?

 

[MGG]

It could be slipped.

 

[Lacy3816]

I don’t know how old maybe a week and it’s red and very hot the joint close to her body

@casportpony @Miss Lydia @DuckyDonna @Jpat @WVduckchick

@Lacy3816 how long have you had the duckling? Was it walking ok before?

 

[Lacy3816]

Casportpony and miss Lydia knows about it I just didn’t know how to contact them again to ask if it’s supposed to be hot on her joint?
And yes she was okay before everything started yesterday but just a few hours ago her leg got hot at the joint so I didn’t know what that means

They are wonderful at helping you, help your duckling. There are others as well, And at least one ~ @MGG ~ on this thread now (I'm not knowledgeable like many here). It's so late (actually early) and I'm sure a lot of folks are sleeping but they'll be here to help early in the morning.

Edited to correct my typing error: @MGG is FAR from least, I meant to say "at least one person is active on this thread right then". My apologies
