duckling leg injury?

[zydrate]

I understand it can go overlooked, I've certainly done it before and I'm sure I'll do it again, but he was definitely standing up last night, as they all do when I fill their water dish and pet them before I go to bed. and as I've been checking on him several times tonight, he now appears to be standing up straight again, tho still is having trouble walking normally, its improved from the extreme crouch hed been doing earlier. would a deficiency show up for one day and go away or improve/fluctuate?
either way, I'll still ask someone to pick up the vitamin b just in case, but the food does say it's for chicks and ducks and I've never had an issue with using dumour before. I hope none of this sounded rude, I very very much appreciate the comments and help and will still be getting the vitamin b because I take their health seriously. just in case hes improved more before I get it though, is there any worry about too much niacin or something? if it's not a deficiency I dont want to harm them by giving them it as i know too much protein can cause 'angel wing' when they're older, but I'm not certain about niacin. thank you again for your help and I'll be sure to update tomorrow on his condition.

B complex is water soluble and what their body doesn't need they will pee out so don't worry about over dosing. But def get the duckling on the B complex so you can turn this around fast. If you wait it may not be fixed and this deficiency can kill them. Give it to them over a favorite treat and it will be good to also put some in their water for the rest of them.

understood, I'll still get some for them just in case. but I'm excited to announce hes standing straight and walking perfectly this morning, so I do think it was a case of laying on a hard surface for too long. thank you all for the help and I apologize for posting prematurely about the issue, but I was worried as I havnt raised them for several years and didnt want anything to go wrong. I've looked into a different brand of food too, just in case, one that says it's just for ducks instead of both chicks and ducks, as I really want them at their healthiest. I thank you all again as I was unaware niacin deficiency was a thing, so it's very good to know and have vitamin b on hand now. I really appreciate the community here and how friendly you are. I may be making a post in the geese section soon for the goslings I should have in a few days
