Duckling is acting like it had a stroke

[wanttobefarmer]

Hello I have 3 ducklings, one is about 3 1/2 weeks old and acting fine and then 2 days ago it couldn't walk well and acted like it had little control over it's body. I heard about the niacin and he has been it for 2 days (in his water) he is still the same. After 1 day with no improvement I gave it to him in a dropper and I've done that twice. No change. Any suggestions? Thanks guys

thanks so much, he was getting vitamin d in his water, but I will force feed him the vitamin d. Does 3 capsules sound right? I have 400 iu mg capsules.

Have you tried "Save-a-Chick"?? It's cheap and mixes with their water. It's good for chicks and ducks, gives them a boost of vitamins and supplements.
