My Duck Is Sick

[Vmduncan]

My duck is sick and isn't doing to good I was wondering if there was any supplements that I could be giving it to help it recover. It already had brewers yeast in its food. It also gets Niacin in the water sometimes. Also I was wondering if there was something i could give my ducks to keep bugs off of them.

Can you tell us what symptoms your duck is having and what breed and age? what feed you feeding and what niacin your using. A picture or video would be good too.

My duck is a Pekin duck and is two months almost three months old. My duck can't walk and is having a hard time standing and even sitting at times. I am keeping her inside for now because we have foxes and other predators around and the duck when put outside quacks non stop.

Is a vet an option?

How much brewers yeast are you giving her? daily?
Read this and see if she has any of these symptoms, I know she has some.

My duck is having trouble using her legs and the brewers yeast she has has a certain amount that should be added per how much food is given. It is one teaspoon for every 2-3 cups. I usually just sprinkle some over top of her food so i know that she gets some.

That is not near enough it actually should be 1-2 Tablespoons to each cup of food you gIve

With her this bad you need to get the liquid B Complex rec in the link. If you don’t treat her properly you may lose her. The b complex is 1 ml over a tasty treat 1 x a day
