I’ve got this duckling who is just not thriving. I just got them yesterday and his siblings are already twice his size. I have electrolytes in their water, probiotics and brewers yeast in the feed, and I’m giving him about .5 mls of Emeraid IC every few hours. He started peeping loudly at noon today and won’t stop. I can’t figure out what’s bothering him. He looks like he has a spine issue, kind of dwarfy and hunched with his tail curved under so he pees on it. I’m wondering if he’s miserable and I should have him humanely put down? He eats and drinks but is not very active or as interested as his siblings. He just seems tired and unhappy. I have a ceramic bulb I can switch too. I’ll try anything if it helps.
