HELP duckling looks like it's dying!

[MGG]

I was too late. He just died. Thank you everyone for your advice and consideration.

I'm so sorry. You really did do the best you could. It's the hardest part of keeping poultry. (Or livestock in general). I'm truly sorry.

I would think if she were thiamine deficient it would have onset more slowly, I agree the symptoms are similar, but this is very severe and rapid in a very short period of time. Do not be alarmed, but the symptoms you describe are quite similar to (DVH).

DVH, what does that stand for? Sorry, lol. When mine had thiamine deficiency it was all of the sudden one morning. I gave him poultry cell and he was totally normal in an hour.

Call or email your state vet, they can tell you where to get a necropsy. They might even be free or super cheap.
