Unsteady duckling advice

[MichalK]

Recently i nursed a duckling from new duck disease/sepsis back to health. It's been a few weeks and it doesn't have great balance yet. The other ducklings attack him, so i keep him separate. If this duckling ends up being permanently handicapped, what do you suggest I do to for him in general? He's very tame. Thanks.

It's going to depend on how it goes with the others.

Are you giving extra B vitamins? That can help nervous system development and healing....

We put it down after several weeks. The vet said the liver looked desiccated on xray, probably due to herpes? It developed sever neurological problems, seizures, once it had a growth spurt.

We did give niacin water, brewers yeast, nutri drench, you name it. antibiotics etc.

That's tough. I'm sorry.

I saw your posts over on hands on hatching and help . . . how are things? Is there a link to the thread you made?

@Amiga I found it and replied there, but for those finding this post later and looking for an answer to the same question: the duckling hasn't internally pipped, so no intervention should take place at this point.
