Duckling having balance issues

[AmberLittlejohn]

I have a bowlegged duckling named Ruffles. She has had a hard time keeping balance and has been falling over. Tonight she has fallen over twice ...backwards. she's ending up on her back and is throwing up & panting. I've been keeping her on niacin for her leg problems but I need direction because this duck is not well and am concerned that she's going to seriously injure herself.

I think i read that for stargazing and dizzy ducklings that they make basicaly a baby chair inside a big mug. The "Chair" has leg holes and it holds the duckling upright and still untill its equaliberium settles down...

I have no experience with it but hopefull someone with experience shows up!

@casportpony mightve been the one talking about it last year

It might be a vitamin deficiency also. My duckling just had the same description and I fed her this powder you put in their water and the next day it stopped happening. If you already have niacin maybe follow @Jpat s directions

I have her on a brewers yeast combination vitamin and hydro hen. I'm flirting with the idea that she has too much vitamins. idk I'm freaking out.

Be calm, if you freak out treating her it will get her nervous. Be nice and slow, and gentle when dealing with Ruffles. May we have pictures of the legs please?

I don't want to disturb her she's finally sleeping. I'm keeping my nervousness to myself haha. I will look for a picture that is representing her issue.

Where did you get her? If she is throwing up might be stress, as said here:

Keep a close eye on her.

When she throws up again, please take a picture of the vomit.
