Is my duckling coming down with something?

[TexasDuckLover]

Okay so just recently I got a order of -2 Black Swedish and -2 Blue Swedish ducklings. In two weeks I have watched them grow normally, but out of the blue one of my Black Swedish seems to have problems walking. Rose my B Swedish is drinking water and eating her starter feed, but her left leg isn't functioning like her right leg. When she runs she seems to stick it far out and limp on her other leg, she is still being social, but I fear it might be a symptom of duck Hepatitis or straddle leg. Can somebody please help!

It sounds like she isn't getting enough niacin. Try giving her some brewers yeast to supplement their diet. Ducks are prone to leg problems if they don't get a niacin supplement in their diet.

Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Thanks Gita, do you know were I might be able to get some Brewers Yeast?

Sorry, I don't. You could try your local grocery store though.
