Duckling having seizure???

[viennaproto]

Has the seizure stopped? What is the state of the duckling now and when was the last time you administered the complex?

The seizure is stil happening on and off unfortunetly looking like he wont make it. Since the rest of the flock weren't showing symptoms they were just getting the food with added nutritional yeast not direct dosing with the b complex only tried that with the one with the bad legs.

You are doing the most you can don't forget that! This type of stuff is mother nature. Hopefully some of the people I have tagged will come with some advice. I can continue to tag people that may be able to help. @sourland @FrankieDoodle @Isaac 0 @DuckGirl77 Please help!

Just a little frustrating getting ducklings this sick from day 1 of them arriving. I have him swaddled and tucked in my bra and he seems to be happy that way. I'll give him a little more time and see.

Oh trust me I totally get it!! Those are your babies and it's so hard to see them struggling. Swaddling is a good idea! Also, were they shipped or did you get them locally?

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I’ve never had this happen, and unfortunately don’t know how to help. Hopefully someone more experienced can help you.
I hope your little guy will be okay.

Had them shipped which ive never done before.

Shipping stress seems to be the problem. You are doing all the right things. It may be a long night- keep holding her and comforting her. Those little ducklings get pretty tossed around during shipping.

I'm starting to be worried it's an infection caused by riemerella anatipestifer the ducklings are quarantined and I try to handle them last and wash my hands between flocks but I hope if it is it doesnt wipe out my existing birds

if you think this is the cause, which if very well could be. i would start her on charcoal and penicillin immediately
