New ducklings- odd looking neck

[Miss Lydia]

It’s rec they have supplemental niacin till age 10 weeks old. I usually start my ducklings off on Nutritional yeast and keep the liquid b complex for any issues that come up. My last hatched duckling used the liquid b complex right out of the shell daily until 10 weeks. If one of yours begins to have leg weakness or shaky leg then you can dose that one separate from the others orally but that hopefully won’t be needed.

I don’t think admiral is going to make it he’s salivary glands have swelled up again and he’s struggling to breathe. I tried to give him some of his medicated water and he couldn’t get it down. I’m so sad.

I know it is difficult when one has issues like his.
I am not good at advising to euthanize especially since I am not right there to see how bad off he is.

It may end up being the kinder thing to do in the end.
