@lovelyducklings any natural[health]food store will have Brewers yeast or nutritional yeast, don't wait to order since this one needs it asap and your others will benefit from it too. they need to stay on it till 10 weeks old.. 1Tab to 1cup of feed daily. Also a whole foods grocery store will carry it. order online after you have initially bought some [just hate for you to have to wait many more days to get them started on the B's.]

Is her walking getting any better. How are the other treating it? if you have her back with them. Just don't let them stress her out by picking on her she needs all her energy in getting stronger.

 

[lovelyducklings]

none at the moment, I won't be able to get any until Friday

Are you doing physical therapy with her? put her feet in the palm of your hand and press up gently and see if you can get her to push down also gentle massage might help too you can use a bit of coconut oil and gently massage her leg. If you have a small pan you could also put some warm water in it only to where the legs meet the body and let her wash, as long as you can keep her nice and warm, After she has washed take a soft small towel and wrap her and towel dry gently. then right back under heat lamp.forgot to mention if you put the lil one in water stay right with it the whole time.

okay

okay so I just noticed that her bottom beak over laps her top? like it pushes out more. I know that it was not like this before and she's making a weird sound as well (like a wheezing sound? maybe it's coming from her beak.) her walking hasn't gotten any better either. she's starting to breathe hard too

She may have issues other that when first hatched that you could see, and they are beginning to manifest. Just hard to say but give her all the support and love you can because with ducklings that hatch with problems they may not live long. What all have to been doing for her? And then again she may just pull out of it we can't always know and ducks are strong fighters when it comes to handicaps. I hope you were able to get then some good poultry vitamins it is great support. If she is struggling watch the other ducklings don't pick on her or trample her.
