HELP! Ducks having trouble walking, dying after several days

I only heard about NC from here on BYC. How many ducks have you lost and how long has this been going on? How many are still healthy?
I lost two, there's a third who is inside the house right now showing symptoms. There are three who are still healthy.

The first duck that passed showed symptoms about a month ago. It seems like every two weeks another duck comes down with this disease, and so far only one at a time.

EDIT: I live on the west coast though, nowhere near CA.
 
Poor thing I didn’t think the ES flush was to go on for days. She can get dehydrated.
The thread says

Epsom Salt Flush:
3 Tsp. Epsom Salts.
1 ½ Cups water
¼ – ½ gram vitamin and electrolyte powder * Optional
2 – 3 times a day for 3 days or until a full recovery is made.

I have been giving her the electrolytes in between Epsom doses to help keep her from getting dehydrated. Am I doing that wrong?
 
She seems to be doing better today. I gave her a bath while I cleaned out her crate and she tried to make a run for it :D She was slow and didn't have much balance + kept tripping on her wings, but yesterday she could hardly walk so this is much better.
