That helps a lot! That actually could be wry neck. Can you get some Vitamin B complex for cattle?

The cattle complex has more thiamin than the drops. It's what I used when I treated one with wry neck.

Ok what is this on her wing? I am so worried

What are you seeing on her wing that concerns you? Is it red spots, like from missing feathers? I can't really tell from the photos.

For whatever reason I'm just seeing the alert for the tag now, but I agree with the above I would skip the poly-vi-sol and go straight to Durvet's b complex along with the vitamin e capsules and continue the scrambled eggs for selenium. If you compare poly-vi-sol with pretty much any poultry supplement the vitamin content of poly-vi-sol is pretty miniscule. When you are dealing with a deficiency you need to bring out the big guns and poly-vi-sol doesn't even provide the bare minimum recommendation of vitamin levels for treating deficiencies in ducks. That's also most likely why your duckling was getting worse when you were treating only with the poly-vi-sol and eggs. I would also recommend to always keep on hand a comprehensive supplement made specifically for poultry along with poultry specific electrolytes. Dosages made for the species that you are dealing with makes a world of a difference. Also with deficiencies if you are not administering the dosage orally via syringe or injecting you have to absolutely make sure they are getting the full dose. If you pour it on her food she needs to be eating every last drop.

Yes at this age they will have random bald spots.
