So we found one of our ducks out on the frozen part of the pond a few days ago He was just sitting out there and couldn't move. We had to get a boat to save him. We took him home and warmed him up, but he can't stand up and can barely move his legs..
We don't know if this is related to being on the pond for a while or if something happened that caused him to not be able to move. I give him baths and I move his legs for him and he can feel if you touch his legs. He seems to have no balance and just falls over.
His poops are very watery and I would describe them as yellow and they smell horrendous. He doesn't eat alot but he does eat.
Can a full grown duck get niacin deficiency? He's eating and drinking and preening. I'm putting brewers yeast in his food just as a desperate hope. So far I don't see much if any improvement. I'm going to look into a vet on Monday, but it's Saturday night and everything is closed.
