My duckling is shaking! Please help

If his eyes need water, you could wet a washcloth or your (clean) fingers and gently get his eyes wet.

Thankyou everyone for your help and concern he is completely fine he is pooping normally his belly button is normal I will show my mum the things about the food and water and try that I will report back if any change but he is still just a wobbly little duck drinking and eating he also doesn't like swimming though does anyone have any tips on how I can make him put his head under the water as his eyes are starting to suffer a bit too

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/750869/raising-and-caring-for-ducklings#post_10611711 on this thread there is a pic of a home made waterers using a cool whip container and cutting a hole in the top just large enough for the duckling to stick his head in to wash his face they should be able to do this anytime especially when eating. Did you pick up any brewers yeast?

Nician is very important and you or your parents need to pick some up ASAP. I'm glad the little guy is doing better. For sure chick out the link by Miss Lydia and I would try to show him how to duck its head in the water. A gental push to get his head under water may help just do it softly.

He goes swimming once of twice a day in a bath tub in warm water and has a place to go swimming where he sleeps which he never goes into unless I put him him. We have not tried the yeast yet but we are buying some today so I will report back in a few days Thankyou everyone for your kind comments

Be sure to get Nutritional or brewers yeast NOT baking yeast.

Ive had several ducks that were not fond of water, dropping some peas in the water helps, but making sure the water isn't to deep really helps.

Sorry your little guy is having a hard time. Nutri Drench is a good vitamin and I would start there and also use some Brewers/Nutritional yeast on its food. Is it having any other problems? Is it crested?

Looks like it has nerve problems, he or she is half the size of its siblings. He or she is only 2 months old. Going to try the Nutri French first.

can you post a video of your duckling? you;'ll need to load it on YouTube or another venue then paste it here.
Also Poultry Cell by Rooster Booster is very good for ducklings who are struggling. Are you offering any type of niacin?
