sick duckling

[hfchristy]

I don't have liquid B complex, but have 100mg niacin tablets I can crush.
She'll be a week old today, but tiny. Bantam to begin with, and hasn't gained any weight in 2 days. Any guess how 1 ml of the liquid B would translate to crushed tablet?

We've also got two other ducklings who seem fine, but also haven't been getting any niacin, so I assume I should start adding that for everyone.

What type of niacin do you have flush free and tune releases won’t work and what are the Mgs of your niacin ?

 

[hfchristy]

I'm pretty sure it meets both of those requirements, but it may be several years past the expiration date.

I crushed one up last night and another today and put it in the food & water, figuring correctly that both of those would probably get gross enough to need to be dumped well before anyone could possibly overdose.

Just go one tablet per gallon of water. Do you see anywhere on the bottle that says NO Flush, Flush Free, Extended Release,or Slow release?

The pics I posted are the whole label. The one thing on the front that is hard to read is just a disclaimer that the FDA hasn't verified the claims about what niacin can help with.
Note on the back says "may cause flushing", so I'm going to say this isn't a flush-free version.

Ok, then start the tablets per the dosage I rec. I would still try to acquire some liquid B complex in the meantime.
