Duck struggles to walk

[rclements1108]

This morning one of my ducks, a runner, was struggling to walk, sometimes she can walk slowly but sometimes she just falls on her stomach and can’t. Her feet seem to be scrunched together instead of out wide like they should be, I have been giving her extra vitamins today. She still seems to be struggling.

How old is the duck? If it is a vitamin deficiency, it will take time to resolve.

I’m not sure how old she is, we got her last year and have had her for about a year. I put her in the pool so she can relax and she is kind of shaking. Is there anything you can think I can do to help?

Is there any possibility that she received a blow to the head?

Can you post a video of what she is doing? maybe she is cold if she is shaking?

Go buy some night crawlers worms. We had that same problem. After she ate the worms she was up walking like there was nothing wrong.

right not she is just laying down so I don’t want to mess with her to get her up and for some reason it won’t let me post a video, so I am just uploading a picture of what was happening earlier when she would try to walk

Could she have gotten into some kind of toxin? plant, stagnant water , something dead? moldy feed?
What vitamins are you giving her?
Can she get to food and water? I'd place her in a small area and place food and water where she can get to it. How does her poop look
