Duckling

[Dawn powell]

Please advice if this is wrong I have brewers as well but not sure if it was any good

@Dawn powell it isn't the correct form of niacin, that is no flush, which is a slow release form- you need flush effect which is fast release.
B complex would be better though, if you can get some, tractor supply should sell it, it's the Durvet brand. 1 ml orally via a treat, daily.

Brewers yeast is also good, 1-1.5 tbsp per cup of feed.
We should rule out whether this is nutritional or neurological though.

Can you answer whether this is a crested duckling? And we really need to see a video of the duckling wobbling to be able to guess as to what is wrong. If you take a video, upload it to YouTube or a similar platform, and post the link here, we will be able to see

Does the duckling have any other symptoms? Does its neck/head look normal? Are it's feet pointed inwards?

Are you in the UK? hopefully you can find plain niacin but the best would be B complex in liquid or tablets. The tabs you can crush up if you can't get it in liquid. We have seen so many duckling helped by using B complex.
Also check your bag of brewers yeast some don't even have B3 in it. But when one is already having problems like your little one the B complex is the way to go.

Yes in uk please can you tell me if this is it

 

[Miss Lydia]

How much niacin is in it? if you can get durvet b complex that would be best.

Your duckling is precious

I don't think that's the correct thing, being in the UK you'll need to use the niacin capsules instead
Niacin capsules
These work well. 50mg per gallon is the dosage, available 24/7 in waterer. Along with brewers yeast, 1 or 1.5 tbsp per cup of feed.

Are you able to post a video of the duckling so that we can see the wobbling? We need to rule out any other issues to ensure treatment is effective

Ah, okay.
Could you describe it in detail? Does it seem disorientated, unbalanced, does it favour a leg or limp? Does it fall backwards, to the side, or is it able to walk okay?
I think trying niacin is the way to go
But I would perhaps also get some nutri drench to supplement as well. Gives them a boost of other vitamins too
