You may want to look at this article, "HAVE YOUR DUCKS BEEN DOING THE BACKSTROKE? Toxoplasmosis" by K. J. Theodoreon found here: http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/page13.htm

"The first sign of Toxoplasmosis is usually a young duckling flipping over onto its back with the inability to right itself."

Read the article it is very informative.

I had a TERRIBLE experience with this disease. It took away 9 precious ducklings away from me. I thought it could be they didnt have vitamins since they couldnt walk beacause of their legs. They alos always seemed depressed . They were muscovys
