Drake is not standing up very well...

[GSDperson]

Hello, my 15 week old drake isn't standing up... Like its trying to stand up but it can't and I also don't see anything wrong with his legs. I would like help with measurements of niacin?

Maybe an injury or bumble foot good idea to get a pic of bottom of feet.

I can't really really tell in this pic but is there a mass on his foot? The video looks like he has a hitch in his giddy up.... can you get pictures of his feet bottoms?

 

[Miss Lydia]

I'd keep him up in a small area for a few days let him rest his leg. Maybe do some warm Epsom salt compresses or soaks [don't let him drink the salt water it's also a laxative] Sometimes if an injury rest and soaks can help. Good feed also. Try adding some Nutritional or Brewers yeast to his feed for a while also 1 Tab per cup of feed.

Can you post a video?

For Niacin intake i use this, One tablespoon per one cup of feed. It can be found at local stores like Walmart.

The closest vet that we have here is about 5 min away but doesn't take any ducks. I'll keep looking.

Not too late. Let us know how he is doing after some soaks and rest for a few days.
