She is not eating on her own right now, she’s being tube fed, so I need something that was be easy to do orally or in her tube.

Both are great to have, imo.

I mix nutritional yeast in my food too.

Oh and frozen peas thawed out have niacin which can cause issues in ducks if they are having a niacin deficiency which causes all sorts of issues.

She is not eating on her own right now, she’s being fine fed, so I need something that was be easy to do orally or in her tube.

So do the liquid b complex you found or the human one that can be found at Walmart...

It's 1 ml for the cow b complex or 3 ml for the human grade at Walmart. Just inject slowly into it's mouth. I do it a quarter of it at a time then let the duck swallow it and do some more.

Ok thanks! I was doing the poultry B12 because that’s what I had, and her food mix has niacin in it but it does not say how much. And my post earlier was supposed to say she was being tube fed. This is what the vet has me feeding.

Nutritional yeast is another thing they love too if it starts eating by itself. Sprinkle it on its food, I do about a TBS on every cup.

I'm sorry you have to tube feed it. Hoping she pulls through!

My duckling that's disabled is the one that's a blue muscovy. She keeps her head in constantly, there's nothing we can do except live her how she is.

She's with the chickens today. I'm letting them all be together because the ducks were curious about the chickens. The chickens have completely dug up all the ducks rocks I should open a construction company and use these chickens. They dig up everything

They could till a garden in record time! Mine like to dig their own graves the holes are so big an deep. ​

Mine made this circle that's about a foot deep and Pants (our black Cochin) is pouting in it because she's the lowest in the pecking order. My husband said "She's literally crawled in a hole like a loner"

Aww bless! Do they pick on her?
