Duck Isn't Doing Very Well

[DrabSigh]

Can you take a video of him? Upload it to you tube, vimeo, facebook, etc and then you can post it here.

I can in the morning, it's very dark outside at the moment but as soon as I wake up I'll take a video of him.

Pekins need a LOT of food. It can be pricey to feed them (and other large ducks.) Even though a wild duck would forage for all their food, a large domestic duck just can’t get enough nutrition that way. Have you had him since he was a duckling?

I hope you were able to get your duck some food today.

I think she said everything was closed for the holiday.

That's right forgot.

Petco is open they have bird vitamins in the bird aisle that might help him too. It has Naicin, and B12 in it. Might help if all she can feed him is cat food until tomorrow. They also have bird seed there. Not sure what ones would be good for ducks but i know there is some wild bird seeds available at Petco. Heck or pet smart would have it too if they are closer.

Yes, my mother's been raising them since they were very small.

Sorry for the long wait, I've had a busy day today. Here is the requested video. In it I tried to pet him so I could demonstrate how he walks and then falls.

I've been feeding him tuna and cat food today. We should be getting the feed tomorrow asap.

He definitely looks like he can't walk well or doesn't want to walk. Other than that he looks healthy. I think feed and a friend would help.
