Duck walking small steps, gait seems off

Is this it?

you want the Durvet liquid B complex.

Rooster Booter "Poultry Cell" is a great product too but for niacin deficiency, we have found the liquid B Complex to be the best for niacin def. 1ml daily until no symptoms then for a full week after.

OK, this doesn't appear to be what you said above. I'm gonna go back and ask them. This is what they held for me when I called.

They do not have it. :/ I'll have to call another location. I'll keep you posted once I get some.

So sorry to keep messaging you. The TSC link you sent me took me to their homepage, so I don't know what it looks like. Do you have a screenshot you can share? Is this specifically for poultry, or livestock? I only see ones for livestock on the TSC site, not poultry. Same for Amazon.

Thank you so much, very helpful! Well apparently this stuff is no longer being sold in my area. I've called two Tractor Supply Stores, and several feed stores, No one has it; I'm in Texas. I can purchase on Amazon, but it won't get here for 2 days. I'm going to keep calling feed stores, but the remaining ones are too far from me to get to before closing today. But maybe tomorrow. Was hoping to get it in her dinner feeding

That gel one didn’t even show B3 unless I didn’t see it. I hope you can find it if not order it should keep in the frig until next year when they come back if they even leave since they have it made with you you can buy BComplex most likely will come in pills you’d have to crush but that would be an option as long as you can get her to take it

Here is the brewers yeast that I've been feeding them. But it occurred to me after all this that since it's a powder, when they peck at the food the powder just sifts to the bottom of the pan. So I don't think they're getting much of it. I read a tip today that said to add a little olive oil to the powder to make it stick to the food. I did that tonight, but they didn't eat as much as usual. So so I don't think they like the olive oil.

I didn't buy the gel one, but I did go ahead and order from Amazon the liquid you recommended. Definitely not sure how I'm gonna dose her, but we'll see. Say prayers for me on that!

I realized I didn't answer one of your questions about her eating. She definitely does eat, and well. The video that I sent you, she had already finished eating. She was first to the pan that evening.

I have taken B complex myself, which was in a capsule form. If worse comes to worse, I'll get some of that. Thank you again for all your help and suggestions, I'll keep you posted. And my husband and I felt like she looked better today, definitely not worse. So I think that's a good sign ^i^

happens here to I use Nutritional yeast, garlic, and oregano in my flock's feed and to make sure they get all of it at the end of the day what feed is left I put into one bowl add water to make it soupy and my ducks and goose pig out so that way I am sure they are getting the additives that seem to end up in the bottom of the feed bowl. My guys love wet feed. That might not be the case for other birds though.
Good to hear she isn't worse and hopefully you can figure out how to dose her if you can it should't take long to notice improvement if it is niacin def. That brewers yeast looks like good stuff does it say how much niacin is in it?

I just realized I didn't take a picture of the back of the bag. But after looking at it, it doesn't list the percentages. Here is the Amazon link, you can scroll through the photos where it boasts niacin and vitamin B. But again it doesn't list the percentages.

That's a great idea taking what's left in the pan and adding water. I could make a little soupy mush and add it to some peas. They would gobble that up. I'm gonna do that today with their midday meal. I'll also take another video so we can compare.
