Duck vertigo?

[Beccazon]

I have Pekins that are 2 mos old. One started being "tipsy" a day or so ago. Just once or twice. Today she is super fidgety, very unsteady and shaky with head bobbing and constant tail wagging. Falls when walking. Trying hard to preen but falls each time or has to sit. Underside quite dirty so she is going in to get a bath. Seems to eat ok but bizarrely due to bobbing. Suggestions??

Trouble quacking. Kind of a soft hoarse sound. Flapping wings a lot and losing what I consider to be more feathers than usual.

What feed is it on?

What feed is it on?

DuMor grower/finisher. Just got her to let me check her mouth and throat. Nothing visible.

Just gave her a bath. Nothing visible wrong. She seems to appreciate being clean though lol. Only thing I can think is something neurological or nervous system. She just sucked down a 1/2 gal or better of water no problem. She is eating. I have her separated from the flock. Her bobbing is so bad now and then she misses the water bowl. She shakes off after her bath and falls over. This is crazy. Tries to clean herself and falls.

She may have a niacin deficiency have you been supplementing at all?

That would do that? I admit probably not as often as I could. I'll add!

Since she’s having such serious issues now, I’d go to TSC and get the liquid b complex in the cattle section and start her on 2 ml it will say injectable but just peel off the foil and suck up 1 ml put it over something yummy like a small hand full of mealworms so she gets full dose or any other yummy things he likes if it’s a b deficiency she should start feeling better soon. Is she crested? Any other ducks you have will def benefit from the complex also.a deficiency can actually kill them the feed doesn’t have the amount of niacin our water fowl need

It almost sounds like a toxin to me.
Does the other duck show any symptoms at all?
When did it start/how long has it been going on?

Could be for sure. @Beccazon is her neck I know you said bobbing but is it laying down to where she can’t lift it normal?
