Niacin deficient duckling

[Tfoley]

Thank you for your help! I'm headed to tractor supply now to get this treatment plan started!

Do I give the whole 1ml at once or put it into the waterer?

Ducklings need 100 Mgs of niacin each daily. This liquid b will say injectable but just peel off the foil and use a dropper or 1 ml syringe with out needle to suck it out.

Do I give the whole ml at once or add it to the waterer?

You can add extra to the waterer just to make sure they're getting enough, but so much of that water is spilled or not drank before you change it. It's best to give them the vitamin B over treats or in food where you know they're definitely getting enough down.

Thank you, I just wasnt sure if giving the whole 1ml at once would be too much at 1 time. I gave the dose just now!

you can split it up over 2x a day one half dose morning an half evening if you want.

Ducky seems to be feeling much better after just hours of starting the liquid b complex, thank you all so much for your help! One more question, would the vitamins cause a change in her poop?

So glad to hear, Yes it may cause a change in consistency of their poop.

You're Welcome. May I ask what you are feeding them?

I was feeding them chick starter until I realized that I had a problem with the one, so i switched to duck crumble after the vet advised me to
