Duck can't walk or stand and the other died

[leonard6002]

Hello everyone.

I bought some 2 ducks ( M and N) a while ago (can't say how old they were, but now they have a bit of feathers).
After a week or so, M got sick and, though I tried giving it some antibiotics diluted in water, I couldn't save her.
I bought another one (P), because N would keep calling for M
Fast forward to a few days ago (Idk how old they are) N had some problems and I went to the local vet and they told me to give her some vitamins along with antibiotics diluted in water. I gave her the medicine and I could see she was getting better. P, however was just fine (remember this).
Yesterday I was running low on their usual food, which I buy from my local farming shop. I asked the seller for the same time type of food that I was feeding them (so no change in diet). I came home, I have them to eat and water to drink and I went in town. I arrived home after two hours and both my ducks had problems. Their feet were shaking but P barely could stand. I went again to the local vet and they told me to give them vitamins diluted in water. I come home and P is fine. No trouble walking or standing, but now N has trouble standing and whener he tries to stand, his feet look like this: / . They are not straight. As it was late, I gave them the water and I hold the water can so that both of them could drink.
This morning I wake up and P died and N still has problems.

I really dont know what to do, I dont want to lose N too. And P dying was unexpected as he was fine last night.. I really don't know what to do..

@leonard6002 are you in the US. Can you show us the bag of feed your using and is it for all poultry or just chickens? What is the antibiotic you have been using? Very sorry for your loss

 

[leonard6002]

I'm not in the US. And I cant show you the bag of food because when I bought it the seller took it from a bag and put it in another bag. I can show at least what the food looks like.

I specifically asked for duck food. And when she was first sick, I gave her Enrofloxacin. That's what the vet recommended at that time but now I give her only vitamins.


EDIT: As some of you mentioned, I am from Romania. I will come back with a pic of its poop later. But as far as I remember, last night it was kind of white, liquid and a bit sticky.

What country are you in? There are many members from many countries on this site and maybe they can help with specific brand names etc to your country.

Feed looks good from here but how does it look there does it smell? look through it real good for mold. @DuckyDonna is right we can help get you with someone in your country who maybe able to help and if you can post some pic of poop that would help also.

Hello again. I am from Romania.

She still has troubles standing up.
Here is a pic of its poop. It's different than how it looked like when she first had problems.

@leonard6002 anyway you can put a video here of her trying to walk? Any way you can find vitamin b complex there? Feed stores here carry it for cattle it’s in liquid. Or you can get a tablet or capsule for humans and put it over feed. Crush the tablet. B complex can help with shaky leg, which is usually a sign if niacin deficiency. If you do a video put it on you tube or Vimeo then copy and paste here. @casportpony is our poop expert hopefully she’ll see the tag and comment.

I am already giving her vitamins.
One of her feet got significantly better, she has power in it, but the other is still numb. And her wings and legs are shaking..
I dont know what to do right now, because she is trying to crawl all over the place and she never tries to rest.

Does the vitamins have Niacin and the other B vitamins. That Is what she needs.
