What you describe sounds like possible seizure activity to me. If this behavior didn't manifest prior to the fall, it's possible that he suffered neurological impairment during that event. If it was my duckling, I'd start by trying to treat for vitamin deficiency, which is suspected to contribute to or be responsible for "stargazing" behavior. Here's a thread that may be helpful: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/wry-neck-stargazing-or-seizures.1184164/. In addition to treating for vitamin E deficiency, you may want to start treating for niacin deficiency if you're not already supplementing his feed with additional niacin - niacin deficiency can lead to leg problems in waterfowl. Best of luck!

Welcome to BYC. I am sorry he is giving you problems...
Since you just took him to the vet could you shoot an email to the vet or place a quick call to see what they have to say?
