Non medicated chick crumbles, correct?

I’m still not sure what vitamins with niacin you’re using but I do know many recommended Durvet B complex.

Do you have other ducklings with it or is it an only duckling?

Can you post video of its wobbles? You’ll need to upload to something like YouTube and then post the link here. Would give a better idea of what is going on with the little one.

I looked up wobblers syndrome and couldn't find it affecting any animal other than dogs. Is the vet you went to an avian vet that knows about poultry?
I'd still try by giving the little one either poultry cell or poultry nutri drench it deserves a chance.
Is the duckling eating and drinking?
