Days old pekins

Bless his heart is he eating okay

I fill their bowl 3 cups a day and it dissapears i hope hes eating but they dont eat early in the morning when i put it out. they graze on it all day

I saw that. He's hopefully going to get stronger soon. I did notice that he seemed agile in spite of his weak legs.

Mabye his legs are okay and his brains messed up

Looks like Missy was calling him to her. Does he walk like that on flat ground too?
He seems smaller than her - or not as tall?

She flips her lid when hes not beside her. She comes un-glued.

He is way bigger than her but crouches

Something is definitely different. @CayugaJana do you have any advice to offer?

I’m also thinking some sort of toxin or infection. If you can’t get him to the vet and he were mine, I would give him as much fluids as he will drink and some antibiotics.

He hasn’t always stumbled like this correct? I don’t know how I missed so much of this thread until now. I know people hate to use antibiotics, but I’m just saying what I would do if it were my duck.

Inadequate nutrition doesn’t seem likely since you’ve been feeding him a proper diet and extra vitamins. How much and what kinds of vitamins are they getting?

Skunks are like pointy faced cats and their defense is spraying satans tears from glands above their anus up to 6 feet. It smells like corpses mixed with marijauna

And tree police are Department of natural resources officers and park wardens

"Corpses mixed with marijuana"
ROFL!


SO TRUE!

I sure hope he gets better.
That pic of him on his back was heart breaking.

You could check where you buy feed? Not sure how your area is but they took our choice to buy antibiotics away from us at feed stores but I understand fish antibiotic are just as good and they can still be bought. So maybe a good pet store that sells fish supplies? Not sure which antibiotic would be best for him though someone else will have to advise for that. @CayugaJana or @casportpony
