The same old problem: pekin duck struggling to walk

Nutritional yeast may be a cheaper long term alternative. Good luck

Nutritional yeast is a great one but when one already has problems we need the big guns and that is where liquid B complex comes in.

I do think this is the way to go for now, if it is a niacin deficiency the Liquid B complex should help, it may take a while since this isn't a new problem but it's def worth trying. Please keep us updated.

Do you have to inject this or can you put it in her food?

What you want is the liquid injectable cattle B complex, the Durvet one is what people usually use.
But you dont inject, you feed orally 1 ml over a tasty treat daily.

this is the one I am talking about.

This one says injection, is that how you do it or should I just use a syringe to extract and place over food?
I have 2 Pekin ducks with foot troubles, just showed up in the last month, my small drake more recently. They don't seem to be overweight and move with the flock but stumble and sit frequently.

Just pull off the foil and pull out the stopper use a 1ml syringe to pull out the 1 ml given to each daily over something they really love to eat so you know they are getting full dose.
or give it this way.https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/safely-administering-oral-medications-to-all-poultry-and-waterfowl.73335/
How are the feet on the bottom no sign of bumble?

Please describe Bumble foot? I am new to this, and I can't pick one up unless they are in the pen. I let them out in the morning to forage in the yard, and they let me know in the evening when they want to go back in the pen.
Thanks!
