@Miss Lydia has been a member a long time and when she gets back she may know a Pakistan member that may have a suggestion on different feeds or medicines that you can get in your country.

@Isaac 0 do you know how to help him with this problem?

Honestly, I don't know but I've called others who will know into this conversation. @casportpony is very knowledgeable too as is @Pyxis.

It's Sunday afternoon here so many may be in church or just getting home now. I'm trying my best to get you help and wish I knew the answers.

Ok thank you
Kindly help me.
Due to covid-19 , no vet taking any appointment in my near areas.

Is doxycol.t-plus medicine is helpful?
It contains tylosin tartate, doxycycline and colistin sulphat.
I have this antibiotic.

Sorry, I didn't get this tag for some reason.

After looking at the video its immediately noticeable that your duck has a serious underlying problem that needs and should be corrected soon. I think we would all wish seizures would be easy to correct for just the normal bird owner, but for diagnosis, most of the time we have to rely on the diagnostic test that is done by the avian vet to help further eliminate and narrow down the underlying cause, then treat according to the condition.

Sadly, we're not going to be able to do any of that, so our approach will be lengthy and definitely not as accurate, but we can start by eliminating some common cause's of seizures with birds, for an example, a nutritional deficiency in thiamine (B1) or vitamin E, I would try supplementing with those vitamins for a few weeks and see if there is any improvement. Sometimes, we get lucky, and even if the underlying cause isn't nutritionally related, just providing nutritional and supportive care is sometimes enough to correct the issue or nonetheless ease the symptoms.

Seizures can be caused by a wide range of things, to name a few, head trauma, viral or bacterial infection, nutritionally deficiency most often in thiamine, vitamin E, and D, neoplasms, toxicity, and or metabolic disease's. Try taking her past history, and just try seeing if there would be a reason you would be more inclined to think she has one more then the other.

Unless she has a bacterial infection, I would see no reason using the drugs you suggested. If you do have an avian vet near, you may ask for antibiotics to reduce the frequency of her seizures.

Just a question, have you seen, or do you see the chickens peck at her head often? Is there any routine to her seizures or is it sporadic? I have a four-year-old Wyandotte chicken that experience partial seizures when she's stressed, very rarely does it ever happen, maybe three times a year.

Wishing you the best.

@Isaac 0 @Dulzura said these are what the vet gave her duck when she had these same symptoms before.

The doxycol.t-plus ?

 

[Miss Lydia]

That's what she said. @Dulzura?

Yes but now I'm not giving her this antibiotic.
Last night she do again these fits about 10 times.
Today I take her to another vet and he examine her and give her medicine, and he said she is doing these seizures due to viral infection and warm weather. Weather of my city is about 38-40C this and last week.
He also said to me that give her ORS thorough out summers and give her probiotics for digestion.
But he don't tell me the name of medicine.

No last time in june 19 than in September 19 she do that and now after 9 months she again do this. And all these happened in hot weather nearly 39-40C.
And i also observe is that whenever she overeaten by Noddles this happened last time she ate macaroni and now before 1 week she ate Noddles.
Now I'm giving her only liquid food i.e cerelac ( having vitamins, probiotics and protein). And for minerals I'm giving her ORS continuously.

I also contacted with Dr. Gavin R . Hitchener. He said me that give her probiotics for digestion.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Did you start the probiotics yet?

 

[Dulzura]

Did you start the probiotics yet?

Yes but not separately for now. Cerelac have probiotics and I'm giving her in liquid form.
