I forgot to mention the Brewers' yeast. we put about half a cup of the yeast in each container of food which is probably 3 gallons of feed. Also we put apple cider vinegar in the water.

Could you get us a video of him walking?

Also, he's a Pekin. They were born early April.

Sorry to hear about your duck.

Could you upload a video of him walking, or at least trying to, to a video platform like Youtube or Vimeo, and copy/paste the link here?

Could you post a picture of what you're keeping him in? Please answer the questions by the other posters as well.

I've uploaded a video to youtube.

Let me know if you cannot see it because I made it private.

During this illness, I have brought him into the house. He is not mobile enough to be outside because he tends to move himself away from the feed and water and then doesn't have the stability to get back to it. As you see in the video, he tries a few times to walk and then sits.

I've tried to find duck feed in this area. I live near Memphis. I'll keep looking. So far, I can't even find a place to order it in. And I've changed the settings on the video and here's the link again.

I would follow the treatment in this thread, and look for any improvements.

Ducky has had a hard life so far and he's only 3 months old. He developed pink eye. And once I started using the antibiotic cream on his eye, he lost all muscle control. Now he just flops around. If he manages to stand up, he can stagger backwards, and maybe go forward a couple steps. But mostly he flops over on his side or falls backwards. I'm not sure what is going on or how to help him.

Ducky died today. Thank you for all your help and support.
