Call duck can't walk! Help!

[DuckyGurl]

Hello all,'
I have a year old magpie call duck that I bought at a swap about three weeks ago. She was doing great, getting along well with the other two, loves swimming, etc.Now today, she can't walk. She tries, and stumbles, then ends up on her side trying to get up. I can't pinpoint a certain leg, she flips onto both sides. I checked her over super well, clipped her nails and stuff too. Nope. HELP!

Could be a Niacin deficiency. If that's the case you can get Brewers Yeast at the feed store (sold for horses) or health food stores and add it to their food.

i second the Brewers Yeast suggestion. i had ducks suffer from spontaneous lameness improve immediately after adding Brewers Yeast. Now i put two heaping Tablespoons over their peas every night, for 7 ducks. That has done the trick.

Hello again! Well, she seems to be totally cured! So weird. I'll add some brewer's yeast tho, when I pick some up at the store. Thanks!!
