What is wrong with my duckling?

[jt dancer]

Yeah, I think you may be correct. After I posted the picture I messed with it, and there was no movement.

 

[Ravynscroft]

It's still not good...

 

[jt dancer]

She was out on grass all day, but I haven't given her greens as a treat in several days. She did perk up in the warm water and pooped, but she is still doing the weird thing with her mouth. She ate some meal worms, though.

 

[Amiga]

It could be something she ate earlier... are her nares clear?

 

[jt dancer]

They are clear, but she has taken a turn for the worse. Twice now, she has had what looks almost like a seizure, where she flops over and her neck goes stiff.

 

[Ravynscroft]

Wry neck, maybe?

Do you have any Nutridrench? Or PolyViSol drops w/out iron?

 

[jt dancer]

I do. Both I think.

 

[Ravynscroft]

I prefer Nutridrench, others swear by PolyViSol... either way, try giving her a couple/few drops directly into her bill 3x per day and see if that helps...

B complex might help if it is a vitamin deficiency. Using niacin as a guide, 150 mg in a gallon of drinking water. Safe for all of them.
