Duck's leg wobbling

[StinkyAcres]

Just noticed today that one of my 14-week-old Muscovy's legs is wobbling. It kind of wobbled side to side at the knee joint as she stood still and walked, but her walking otherwise looked normal and the leg looked strong enough to carry her.

My ducks haven't been eating the duck feed as much as I expected (they're mostly foraging in the grass) and tend to leave a lot of the nutritional yeast flakes behind. Should I treat them for niacin deficiency? If so, what is the most direct way I can get it into them?

My local Tractor Supply doesn't have the Durvet high level vitamin B complex but it does have the gel (https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/durvet-vitamin-b-complex-oral-gel). And my local Walgreens doesn't have a human niacin supplement that is not flush free. I do currently have this stuff https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/durvet-vitamins-electrolytes-100-gm
Any other options? Thank you!

AMAZON has this , it’s the best thing you can use. i have no idea about gel i never heard of it. but if you can order from Amazon. i give 1 ml per day to any duck that needs it

I agree on ordering the correct one
This can take weeks to solve the issue so be patient. After you see a full recovery continue for 1 more week
1ml oral by syringe or over a small treat you know it will get the full dose

Thank you both! It could take a week or two for the Amazon order to arrive here. Do you still think it's the best thing to do?

Are you using 1 Tab per cup of feed? Of the Nutritional yeast?

The link I gave you lists other Liquid b complex you might be able to find if you have other feeds stores besides TSC we have 1 feed store and they carry hardly nothing I always have to order

I checked another feed store and they only have the gel as well.

I looked it up and it would probably be fine to use but how much I
have no idea but her body will pee out what she doesn't need. and it might be worth using until you get the liquid.
