Also what vitamins should I get?

I like Nutri Drench because you can give it straight into the bill not down the throat but just inside the bill a tiny bit at a time till it is drinking from water container then put it into its container. What got your ducks? you never said.

Don't wait. This duck needs medical attention now. Poor little critters don't understand that their pain is temporary and they can look forward to feeling better (hopefully) with appropriate care, but the longer you wait, the longer this duck will suffer and the less chance of survival she has.

I moved my limper into a small secure coop and it looks like he has a tiny scratch on his wing but the other one won't let me pick her up. I will try and get some vitamins and electrolytes and to get him to the vet. He was sitting up earlier but whenever he stands he falls backwards.

you need to check your one that won't let you pick it up over really good to in case of wounds that need to be washed out and something put on them, all wounds need to be cleaned real good and some kind of antibiotic salve put on but nothing with pain relief in it. Neo or triple antibiotic is good or Veterycin [found at TSC or online ] betadine /watered down to look like weak tea or iodine done the same way. sounds like your duck that is falling over has some injuries that might be life threatening. I'd put this one in a donut towel, take a towel and wrap it to look like a donut then put your duck into it so it can't fall over it's kind of like a nest. being right on the bottom of the tub gives it no traction at all and can damage it's legs if it tries to walk. I hope it will be okay.

My mom took my limper to the vet and sadly he said he had a neurological issue and it would not heal so he put him down.
