Duckling and seizures

[jenna elizabeth]

Has anyone had a duckling have seizures, or know about ducks and seizures? Can they recover after them or will they always have them? TIA

Sounds more like stargazing perhaps.

Vitiman B3 deficiency, which is very common in young ducks, can cause retarded growth, loss of appetite, seizures aswell as serious leg problem's. If treated soon enough they can make a speedy recovery. Could you give us a little bit more info about your duck?

Started yesterday morning, she was acting weird then next time I checked she was on her back kicking her legs. Now she can’t really walk around she can’t keep balanced. She’s drinking but not eating. Ive been giving her vitamin b liquid today and poultry nutri drench. Also her eyes are closed shut she can only open one. So I went and got her some terramycin and putting warm wash cloth. I was thinking it was botulism but do they have seizures with it? Thank you!

can you define acting weird?

Sometimes you need to mix vitamin e with the b complex. But I don’t want to make that suggestion without knowing how the ducklings was acting.

did anything you gave it so far seem to help at all?

If she has eaten anything toxic then it could be botulism but she would have to of been outside or inside on your floor to maybe have picked up something but I doubt you have toxic things laying around on your floor? It honestly sounds like a B3 deficiency they can have seizures for that. Please give us more info. And if you can get pics or a video that would help too. Is the little one able to eat and drink?

What kind of Vitamin B are you giving her? When did you start administering it as well?

Many things can cause seizures, so can you start by telling us what type of food she's been eating?
