Help! My lil ducks r having seizures and dying.

[Mike Winters]

vitamin b12 deficiencies can cause those symptoms. they had a Nat Geo program on alligators in Florida having fits then going lame and drowning and they eventually figured out it was a lack b 12

Im so ashamed at how little i knew about ducks and raising them. I went to get my chicks like normal and they had duckies and I was smittin! I cant believe I didnt research more first! And I would again like to thank yall for your help.

No need to feel ashamed, we are all on a learning curve; feel ashamed only when you experience something UNknown, be given advice and then ... fail to take it

You did what you believed was right and ok. Now you know different and have a chance to put it right

So, how are they doing?

My pekins died fast they made it less than a week. The rouens only 1 died and that was after like 3 weeks, the other rouen is doing great I started her on her new food and changed how her set up was w her water and took her off the shavings. We added a new rouen to be her friend last night and where as the new baby is the size of her head they bonded instantly!! Its so sweet they snuggle and groom each other and the little baby sleeps on her back between her shoulders. She gets frantic when u remove him from her. Im hoping that (as crazy as my boyfriend says it is) she has not developed a seperation issue from her other duckie friends passing away. We also added 2 geese babies to the mix as body gaurds for the ducks lol. They seem to all get along perfect. The older rouen mommies EVERYONE!
