My duck is having a seizure like behavior

[Supertive]

Yes! And when one is already having neurological issues or leg weakness the liquid b complex works a lot faster!

Do I put it in with the water because I have 6 total, or do I use syringe

So will this help with the niacin levels

Yes, it will also help with thiamine, which could cause this too.

You can do both. I would give the one with the issues some by syringe to make sure it’s getting the right amount. The amount in the water won’t hurt it or the others. That’s what I did with my Ryker when he had issues like this.

For the one that is having problems I would give it orally.

HI sorry about your Pekin. I had the same thing with my Runner as a duckling and it sure can be frightening to watch. The additional niacin worked for us - the seizures became less and less until there were no more. Also wanted to just say that Pekins should get the extra Bs/Niacin for a while to help their legs grow strong - otherwise they could have more issues as they get heavier. We've had that problem in my flock too. Adding Nutritional Yeast to their feed is a good way to give them the extra they need too. Keep us posted on the progress!

Go out to the tractor store and get the liquid vitamin b complex for cattle. Start giving this little one 1ml a day. You can split it up or do it all in one dose.

That’s were I would start.

I’ve got it right here with me so I put it in the water, or do I just give it to him raw right out of tub

Is it this? I’d put it over a treat thawed peas or mealworms or something else yummy they like.
