B-Complex Dosage (3-4 week olds)??

[KikiDeAnime]

Beaker is having leg issues so we're on our way to the store to get him Vitamin B Complex.
What's the dosage for 3(almost 4) week old ducklings???

I don't remember the dosage, so hopefully someone else can chime in. I just know that you can't overdose. Last Spring when my pekin developed splay leg I put it in the duck's water and also once a day in their food to make sure she definitely got enough.

@Miss Lydia @MasterOfClucker or @casportpony will know. I forget the dosage for little ones.

I just go with 1ml daily. There are lots of different recommendations for dosages regarding vitamin b, 1ml would be calling it safe for a duckling that size.

What kind of Vitamin B did you get?

How do you deliver this? Over food? Eye dropper? In water?

It can be spread over treats or administer orally via eyedropper or syringe. Water, you don't know how much they are drinking and since ducks spill half of their water most of the time too.

Since I have 5ducklings what is my best bet?syringe? I think I have some little ones from my late diabetic dog. When I separate my little guys they get all flipped out...this doesn’t sound fun, should I do each one just to be sure? And for how long?
sorry for the ocean of question.

If they aren't already currently showing any signs of a Niacin deficiency, you can set a small dish of treats out for them and put 1ml over the treats or just start sprinkling nutritional yeast or brewers yeast, one tablespoon per cup of feed.

Always best to put liquid over treats if not familiar with giving liquid to poultry it’s easy for them to aspirate liquid if not given correctly.

Is this the right stuff?
