help wry neck duckling!

Still no real improvement as of this morning. Today i added brewers yeast though. Im not sure how long i should wait for improvement before making a more final decision.

Did you read the thread that I linked to in my previous post? Are you giving the polyvisol, too?

The members I tagged above have experience with wry neck.

Yes poly vi sol 2x a day and vitamin E once a day

I would get a B complex capsule and add that to the drinking water. I would use the amount of B3 - niacin - in the capsule as a guide to the strength of the solution - 150 mg niacin per gallon of water.

You may need to dip the bill into a cup of the water or dribble the water onto the tip of the bill. General, improvement is seen within days, if it's a B vitamin deficiency.

Prayers sent.

Bless your heart for trying to help the baby. Even if he passes, at least it will be among someone that cares rather than at the feed store!
