Duckling won't stand, walks poorly

@casportpony If they have an infection, what's the difference in poop from a duck without an infection?

When they have a bacterial infection most of their poop will be very runny and often have an odd color. Of course they can have runny poop when drinking lots of water, or when it's hot, but during the evening their poops should look normal.

@Jera , minus the little red spec, normal evening duck poop should look like this:

Better safe than sorry... have them check for worms, coccidia, bacteria and yeast. If he's not eating, ask them to show you how to tube feed.

@casportpony My Pekin's is always very very runny. My other duck's is too. I put B Complex in their water thinking her problem may be niacin deficiency. Could this be making both of their's runnier than usual?

Are they walking, swimming eating and acting normal?

@casportpony My Pekin isn't. That's why we took her to the vet. They gave us a pain med/anti-inflammatory and a antibiotic.

Curiously, what did they give you? And what do they think is wrong?
