Hello, I have 4 Indian runner ducks that are about a year old. A few months ago one of the ducks couldn't walk and I read on this forum that niacin and electrolytes should help. Well it helped and the duck, Jeb, was fine after a few days!
Recently, another one of my ducks has had the same problem but it only seemed to happen when it was cold (30°) out. It's been 40+ degrees and she is doing it again. We gave her niacin and had her warm and dry in the coop for a day and seemed fine. Today she is walking very weird like she has to sprawl her legs out to get anywhere and then just stopped walking. A neighbor put her on my deck because he noticed she wasn't walking and she jumped off the deck
Now her toenail on the back of her leg, that little hanging part of their foot, is broken off and is bleeding a little bit.
I need any advice that anyone has. I'm so worried about my duck!!!!!!!! She's so helpless. Thank you so much
