Anyone Else Have a Crested with Neurological Issues?

[Theanimalmom]

Thanks so much for the links. i had read that one that Kevin posted. i only have the one crested. i used to have four, but needed to thin down my flock, so rehomed the other three to someone who could give them a great home. i guess the information i'm looking for is, what do you do once you have one with neurologic issues? i won't be breeding her, or any of my ducks, i only have girls, just 7 altogether. Cindy does get shunned much of the time. i think the others are a little afraid of her since she is always falling over. But they don't harm her at all.

They all get peas with two heaping tablespoons of Brewers Yeast every night. i'm wondering if there are supplements which might help her with her condition. And then, looking forward, i was curious if anyone who has one of these ducks with issues saw the condition advance with age. i'm just wondering why she is so much worse lately.

I have a crest duck that is in a similar position. May I ask what happened to Cindy?

This is an old thread so OP might not be on here anymore?..

I have a crested pekin as well who will occasionally bend her neck and lean all against the cage while she walks it. (So sad) I pick her up and love on her when she does this...she does it every so often and sometimes just does circles in the yard....id love to know how to help this...assuming it can’t be fixed.

How old is your duck? Trying a good b complex vitamin might help some TSC carries a liquid B complex that will say injectable but we use it orally putting 1 ml over a tasty treat 1x a day. Sure can’t hurt to try. And I hope it helps.
