Desperate help needed please

In wry neck, vitamin E and thiamine (B1) are important to give. For the feet and legs, niacin (B3) and riboflavin (B2) are good to use. B complex, which has all B’s can be crushed and given with food or in water by dropper. A good vitamin tonic such as Poultry Cell 1 ml daily would be a good source of all of those. Alcohol or iodine would be good to use on the umbilical stump to disinfect and help dry it out. Hope your little one gets better.

How much crushed b complex should be given?

I believe it's a quartered tablet. So break it into four pieces and grind one of the quarters to be added to food or a liquid dropper with a little warm water for younger babies.

I'm thinking there is nothing wrong with the Duckling. It can take some Ducklings over 24 hours to find their feet. It's still absorbing the yolk. I place them into a margarine container in the incubator and leave them rest. Don't give it anything by mouth till it's up.

I have 14 others that have hatched and they are all fit and healthy and normal - my last female khaki campbell had wry neck and I sorted it using a neck brace along with brewers yeast and vitamin e
She’s starting to find her feet a little just a bit wobbly
I will try make some shoes to help thanks everybody for the advice

Yes! I was just reading that brewer's yeast is a good source of the necessary b vitamins and is more easily absorbed and processed. Most anywhere with a health section would have it and it's not terribly expensive!

Hang in there little peep !

That is its umbilical not its butt. It will poop once it begins to eat.

No it’s around the bit where poo comes out aswell not just the umbilical cord :-/
