Is pedialyte safe for ducks?

[casportpony]

Do you already have Pedialyte? If not, I would get the save a chick at a farm supply store. I got the electrolytes and probiotics. Offer them plain water and the electrolytes/probiotics water in separate dishes.

Good advice!

They're doing fine, only one falls over and it's only happened twice total so it's hard to predict when or if it will happen again unfortunately. Right now they seem all normal. In fact I'm very cut up right now from the brat crawling over me lol

You know every now and then I get one that does this and they always grow out of it.

How old are these Ducklings?...

Not entirely sure. I believe they were 1 week old when I purchased them (the store wasn't sure) and I have had them 2 weeks, so potentially 3 weeks old. They're pretty huge lol

They do grow fast! Has he flipped over again recently?

I put the b complex on mealworms or peas and feed it to them first thing in the morning. Did you find the liquid at a store near you? If so, buy one of the .59 cent syringes with a needle to pull it out. Then squirt it out onto the mealworms. You may have to crumble it up for them if they aren’t used to the big pieces.

Not since the day before I posted this message. That was the last time he got "turtled" as the family is calling it.

The complex I have has a dropper, and I've started putting it over the meal worms (as of yesterday when my order of mealworms came in) in order to ensure they're getting more of the compound.
