What is wrong with my duckling's eye?

[Jkduckster]

Also I still haven't seen him poo so I'm pretty concerned with that. I checked his butt and I can't see any blockage or poo in general.

Keep him warm and hydrated for a while so you can monitor his progress ..hopefully he will snap out of it!

I bought this for my little guy. Is this the right stuff. Also what is the dosage?

 

[Jkduckster]

I also bought him some vetRX. Can I give him bolth the vetXR and liquid vitamin b complex or will that be too much on him?

Is your duck have trouble breathing? The b complex is fine not as potent as the liquid b complex from TSC so you have to give more 3 ml instead of 1 ml you can divide the dose in two doses.

If he ate too many seeds, nuts or not balanced diet maybee backed up. This happened to mine at that age, I gave about one half dropper mineral oil, put her in broader for 24 hours added coconut oil to her food and vitamin water. She started pooping was eating drinking good. She had stopped eating even treats, then layed down and cried when following them to pen. So she was in pain

No he has no problem breathing, at least I don't think so. I gave him his dosage and was also very relieved to see him poo. I also have another duckie with an injured leg, now that my black duckling is eating and walking and pooing I can consentrate on the other baby. When I got my ducks the one with the injured leg had a twisty tie around her foot. The twisty tie was so tight that her skin was growing around it! I removed the tie and have been aplieing antibiotics on her leg. It has swelled a bit and she limps. I've only had these guys for 3 days so I plan to do some research and find something to help her.. any ideas?

Daffy that's what we call my little black duck still isn't near to well though. I hope the liquid vitamin b stuff helps/ though if it doesn't would it mean it's something respitory?

Poor baby. Keep up with the antibiotic on her leg. If infected you may want to use oral antibiotic also you could try soaking her leg in a warm Epsom salt bath. Just don't let her drink the ES water it is also a laxative. But put her on the b complex too.

Hopefully the B complex will have Daffy feeling much better too. How his eye?

I wave my hand by his eye and he shows no reaction. The other ducklings run away from me but Daffy just sits there. Is he going blind possibly?! He still proons himself and is eating. I don't think he's backed up though because he pooped on me this morning when I was giving him his Vitamin b complex. I'll pick my little girl with the injured leg up some Epsom salt. Thank you everyone! I don't know what I would do without all the advice. This is my first time raising ducks so I'm pretty clueless.
