I need help with wry neck in a duck

[Bonnie2802]

Just started raising ducks a few months ago. Great success until today. From what I am reading this baby Rouen duck has right neck. I think I need to give vitamin D and prednisone. I live in a small town. Where do I get this stuff? Do I have to go to a veterinarian? I know I need to start treating immediately. Any advice would be awesome. Thank you so much.

I believe prednisone is only given on vet's order & supervision when there is swelling around the brain. Otherwise it will not be of therapeutic use.
