My 4 month old Pekin has always had a pale bill. 4 days ago she started acting drunk. She cant stand, falls over , head bobbing. I'm giving her brewers yeast I've added herbs. What else can I do she wont eat her food but loves mealworms and boiled eggs.

She seemed to get a little better yesterday but today is much worse.
 
@casportpony @Miss Lydia are experts! I've just tagged them so hopefully they will be along soon. I can tell you for sure that you need to take a picture of her poop for casportpony. They will also want to know what you are feeding them.

Then the other thing I can tell you is that you need to get B-complex from the cattle dept at Tractor Supply. Where are you?
 
Is there any way you can post a video of what she is doing? You’ll have to put it on you tube or Vimeo then copy and paste here. Is a vet an option? Can you tell us what your feeding including treats and what herbs your using. How long have you been using the Brewers yeast and how much are you giving.

I'm in southern Indiana. I have 5 ducks together. I will stay out there and watch her until I can get a pic. She looks miserable. I've been feeding them all flock pellets. Every other day I give corn or peas and then in the evening I give mealworms as a treat. This is my first time having ducks. I change the pool everyday and have 2 other waterers I change twice a day. I clean the pen twice a week and the coop. The flys have been horrible. The other 4 ducks appear healthy.
Thank you so much for your help.

I just started the brewers yeast yesterday and all I could find is pills at Walmart so crushed about 10 and put in food.
