water logged duck

[diana rothang]

I found one of my ducks in the pool apparently unable to get out. I had to pick her up to get her out. She is having trouble walking and balancing. What should I do for her>
Thanks

How is your duck doing?

Is she a muscovy? Sometime they can get waterlogged when they are in the water too long. If not here is some info that may help:

I am not a duck person, but I would worry about either a vitamin deficiency or possible botulism. Does she have access to a pond or stream where she might come in contact with dead fish remains? I would start some vitamins, such as vitamin B complex tablet crushed over food, that has niacin and riboflavin, or use a poultry vitamin daily. Make sure that she gets enought to eat and drink or help her. What type of feed is she eating. Here is some reading about botulism:
