New duck mom need help

The duckling has a swollen red leg is that a symptom of MG? show us your information

Swollen joints are *not* a symptom of MG.

Reading the symptom s upper respiratory distress would be pretty obvious!

You are correct.

What did the vet say was wrong with the leg? And time released niacin will not work it’s entirely different make up than just plain niacin but the b complex will if it’s a niacin deficiency. I’d dump the water out an make a new batch with out the time released. How many duckling do you have a gallon of water seems like a lot for a few since they mess it up so quick an it has to be changed frequently. What are you using for a waterer? Do you have a med dropper or small syringe? You can give her tiny drops of the BComplex just inside her Bill. Never shoot it into her mouth because it can go into her lungs. Just tiny drops start with. I believe @casportpony has right dose for a 3 day old

Hello so I separated her out from the other 7 and the niacin is 20mg in the liquid.
The vet really didn’t say anything since the virus going around they made me stay in the car all I was told her leg is weak and she prescribed tylan power and if I keep pooping out the water I won’t have enough of that to last 5 days as proscribed

Don’t but a gallon is awfully big container for one duckling do you have to mix it fresh daily?

 

[Lacy3816]

Sorry trying to read all the comments the liquid b is this picture.

So would I even need the tylan powder?

 

[Lacy3816]

I mix a gallon because I haven’t heard anyone say how to use the drops and I would be afraid to just put it in her mouth.
She drinks a half a quart in 2 days I guess she can’t really play since she only uses one leg to walk she hobbles a lot

From what @casportpony said on another thread the Durvet liquid b complex from TSC is better because the one you have doesn’t have thiamine. But if your giving her that one keep doing it till you get the other an give it to your other ducklings too once you open It keep it in the frig. If she’s eating good then mix the b complex in with a little feed so she gets full dose in water it gets too watered down for one that needs it ASAP .
