one loud duckling question

[Julielynn810]

Bless her heart have you been supplementing with any niacin at all?

no I didn't know that was something I was supposed to do. I did so much reading on ducklings and thought I was so prepared, but somehow this didn't come up until this week. I feel awful. I did add Sav-A-Chick electrolytes to their water today and that has niacin in it, so hopefully, that helps until tomorrow.

How many a day is she having? Is she able to eat and drink though

quick update: You, I believe, have saved my little duckling's life. Thank you so much for your quick responses! No more seizures today and I swear she's doubled in size since yesterday. None of the ducks were thrilled about the brewer's yeast I added to their food, but they got over it. They all love the Sav-a-Chick electrolytes in their water. I'm going to keep them on high levels of B vitamin for a little while as I'm sure they're all deficient even though she's the only one showing symptoms.

Very good news. If you think the brewers yeast is working well enough keep it up but if your duckling starts back having seizures get the liquid b complex ASAP.

I was going to do both...do you think that's a good idea?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Just do the liquid Bcomplex for at least a week then go back to the brewers yeast if no more seizures again
