Ok. So we are going on vacation and the girl who is taking care of our birds calls to tell us that one of the ducks (1 1/2 months) is walking funny and then sitting down. So we had to come home because of truck issues (another story) and I took a look at him/her and on visual inspection nothing seems wrong with feet or legs, he/she can walk ok, but when standing still the left leg is trembling. I can't see anything wrong though. No other symptoms of anything else that I can report. Anyone have any suggestions?
We are leaving soon, and just would like some ideas if it gets worse. Thanks in advance.

My son has a duck that developed a weak leg and I don't know why but I just tried to give it more time in the duck pool and it has seemed to help.
 
Do you have vitamins and electrolytes?

Another thought is, what kind of exercise does the duckling usually get? If it has been confined it may have weak muscles.
