I have a jumbo pekin duck who is 1 month old and isn't feeling well. We have 29 ducks in total (jumbo pekins, khaki campbells, cayugas). When we returned home on Sunday night, one of the jumbo's was unable to walk. She/he will swim in the pond if I bring her to it, but when I went back to check on her she was up on the bank while all her friends were swimming.
She is still unable to walk, her left eye was stuck shut a couple times this week, if I wipped it and opened it for her she would leave it open. She is eating and drinking, I am leaving water and food directly in front of her. I have put her in a smaller coop because her friends were stepping all over her. She also has loose, green poop.
I thought maybe a niacin deficiency, so I have been adding niacin to her diet for four days but haven't seen a difference yet.
Anyone have any help or advice??
*I do work for a vet who sees/treats ducks so I will be asking him tomorrow his opinion and if not any better after the weekend I will bring her in to be seen Monday.*
Thanks in advance!
