Awesome!! Pasty butt over now?

Hi! Please help she can’t walk. I’ll send pictures. She’s holding her foot close to her stomach

Are you giving any niacin supplements and could she have injured her leg have you looked it over real good for swelling heat or redness?

There doesn’t seem to be swelling or redness. And they have Brewers Yeast on their food. 1/2 teaspoon per cup. And I always top it off with a sprinkle more.

Not enough it should be 1 Tablespoon to each cup of food very safe to use. Now that she is favoring her leg I’d go to TSC and get liquid b complex and start her on it ASAP it works better and faster if it’s a niacin deficiency. 1/2 ml morning an evening over a little treat so she gets the full dose. Also I’d put her in some nice warm water and see how she uses the leg . It can be a dish pan , A rubber pan from TSC but we want to see if she’ll put the leg down and use it? Could she have gotten stepped in by the other ducklings? Even a sink will work just stay right with her it’s amazing how far they can jump and we don’t want her in the floor

It’s looking swollen to me compare to the other one and see what you think.

I did just compare it to the other leg and I’ve just now noticed it may be a little swollen. I’m going over to TSC right now to get that. I was wondering if I should separate her from the other ducklings just for a day so I know she gets enough food and water?

 

[KatTargaryen]

I just put her in the sink too and she is trying to use it, so that’s good.

 

[DuckyDonna]

Yes, keep her apart for now until we see what's up!

I’d give her at least one buddy and the b complex is in the cattle dept it will say injectable but you just peel off the foil and suck out the liquid. @DuckyDonna has a pic of what your looking for.
