something wrong with my duckling?! help?!

[aaronsmommy22]

I bought 4 ducklings from tractor supply 2 wks ago. No problems til tonight. I noticed one of them the top of both. Their legs are swollen and he don't walk very well and won't stand very long! I don't want him to die I am attached to these little fellas so if anyone can help or tell me what's wrong and what I can do it would be appreciated greatly! These. Are my babys!!

I had the SAME problem a few weeks ago with one of my rouens.. We gave him a couple of drops of Poly-Vi-Sol NO IRON, put it in their water, and also added niacin. We babied him for a couple of days.. Now he's 4 weeks old and a HORSE of a duck!... I hope that your baby comes through!

What dilution are you using that at in the water?

 

[Baralak]

I put one full dropper in one full bottle. I use the little plastic quail waterers for the first week.

How many ounces is that? And when you say dropper, do you mean the one that comes with the vitamins?
