Niacin help!

[Duckydos]

I have a 3 week old duck that is having issues walking. His legs are bowed and his legs shake when he's just standing still. He tends to lose his balance often. I've had him on Manna Pro duckling starter since he was born. Last week I started giving him Honey Combs Niacin supplement (80mg per dropper) in his water twice a day, along with peas morning and night. I also was pitting brewers yeast in his food with poultry booster. I backed off of the brewers yeast and poultry booster this past week since i started the niacin drops. He's in a large cage but doesn't walk around much. I take him outside for exercise, and swims but I haven't seen any improvement. Any recommendations??

Poor little duck! In this situation, I would get some Durvet High Level Vitamin B Complex Injectable and give 1ml per day orally. That should help him out.

I did! I gave him a dose last night and one this morning. The shaking in his legs has already improved and he was walking around in his cage this morning. I took him for a nice long swim and a few walks today. I'm hoping he keeps improving. Thank you for the suggestion!
