We got some ducklings a week ago, and it appeared 1 has a niacin deficiency. Reading some of the threads and talking with some on here helped me to figure out what was up with it, and how to help em. It seemed like it was doing better, but all of a sudden a little while ago it started having difficulty just sitting, and it's left leg doesn't seem to want to stop moving, so it keeps falling over even just sitting. Anyone have any ideas?
 
If the video uploaded its post seizure I want to say. I'm gonna try and get another 1 posted.
 
I'm not sure if either of the 2 I posted posted. I'm not technologically advanced.
 
Well quackers made it through the night. The pic is how it was this morning. It's left foot is redder than the right, and doesn't work as well, which I believe is part of the reason it has difficulty standing. But at the same time, until yesterday afternoon, it was able to sit without falling over, and seemed to be improving. Since it went south yesterday, it's breathing like a fish outta water, it's tongue seems to be somewhat swollen, and it couldn't sit by itself. But it's still eating some, and drinking, and after holding it up for about 30 minutes or so, I was able to semi prop em up, and it stayed. I called a local vet, but they weren't taking new clients so the best they could do is give me an appointment in a couple weeks.
