Sick Or Weak Duckling?

[Miss Lydia]

Id give her warm water bath time so she can keep her leg moving and add the Brewers yeast to her food for the time being. 1tab per each cup of feed. When you look at her leg again look behind the knee does it look swollen more so than anywhere else? Feel gently along the back of her leg does the tendon feel like it’s in the right place feel the other leg for contrast. Also you could do some massage bending the leg into normal position. First can you bend the leg into normal position? I can’t tell you for sure that this is a niacin deficiency but giving the BComplex can sure help with muscle strength. This could be an injury or a tendon out of place so examine the leg let her swim an use the leg as much as she can so the muscles stay loose.

It doesn’t look very swollen anymore. I compared both legs. I can bend her leg into normal position and stretched it a few times. I let her swim for a few minutes too. I’m going out today to see if I can find some b complex at Walmart.

They have that same b complex at Walmart you showed a pic of sorry I didn’t say that I just thought since you were ordering maybe you couldn’t find it close. The fact you can bend the leg and it doesn’t look swollen is good sign!! Keep us updated.

I couldn’t find any B complex at the Walmart near me. I think Penny will be fine for the rest of the day until tomorrow. I let her swim twice today and she’s been trying to use the leg. And I gave all three of them the brewers yeast (1 tablespoon per cup) and I sprinkled extra on top, I don’t know if that’s too much but they seem to like it lol.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Not too much! Your doing great.

@Miss Lydia
Alright! So I got it. And I gave her some. I was wondering if I could give the others some? To possibly prevent another vitamin deficiency, if that’s what this is.

 

[Miss Lydia]

You sure can it’s great for them all. I give the liquid b complex in their water first week along with Nutritional yeast on their feed then I keep using the NY unless I see one having weakness in their legs then I go back to liquid b complex along with NY. How is she today?

She’s been using her leg a lot more and is stretching it out. So she’s definitely getting better. I think i‘ll have to see how she is tomorrow to be sure.

 

[Miss Lydia]

That’s great to hear.

@Miss Lydia

I wanted to thank you so much for all your help!! Her leg isn’t completely better, but she’s limping on it instead of curling it next to her stomach!! I’ll think she’ll continue to improve. So, i just wanted to thank you for helping me out with her. I don’t know what i would have done otherwise. I also just put 1ml in their water. So, that’s how she is getting the B complex.
