Pekin duckling falls when she tries to walk...help!

[dpingtrich352]

We have a pekin duckling that was walking some what clubbed footed, its feet was turned in and she'd step on them when she walked but it wasn't all of the time. Now she won't hardly walk, when she stands she falls. We ran out of vitamin B last week (I've been out of town for work) and I think he was just feeding the ducks their normal food that they've been on since we got them. I have Brewers yeast now but won't be home until Sunday evening. We have been putting probiotics and apple cider vinegar in their water, he put some water and food right next to her so she could still eat and drink. Can anyone help on this??? I'm a worried duckling momma, and being away from them all week is hard.

Oh No! You might have to make a little chick splint for her, how old is she?

this is a youtube video on how to help him with a brace.

This is the food we’ve been feeding them and the probiotics that we’ve been giving them. I am sure he probably forgot to add some of that while I was out of town. I didn’t have my pre-made jugs ready for him (lesson learned).

Can you have the person feeding you ducks go to Walmart and buy the liquid b complex?

She’s at least a month old or so.

I can, but it wouldn’t be until later today. Is the stuff I should have her buy?

That is what I have. I think @CayugaJana uses that too.

She may be a too little old, her bones aren't soft enough to move around as much.

Ok, thank you, I will have it ready for pick up at Wal-Mart today. Will this happen to my other ducks too?

She was moving fine for the last few weeks, just last night he noticed her not moving when he went to clean out their pen. She is normal size with the rest we got that day.
