What should I do?

Mine has been doing this for about a week now. I have found that after I started the episodes got less and only tend to happen when he is excited or anxious about something. It has been hard to keep him out of water because he just gets so excited about it.

I also started adding in peas for even a tiny bit more niacin. Let me know how the solinimiem works for you. I haven’t added that yet.

Regarding selenium - Everyone, please be very careful giving this, it's not safe the same way other vitamins are safe.

I had been doing vitamin b, e and nutri-drench. But I don’t think I had been giving enough until this weekend as I was barely doing a half ml of it a day. When I upped it this weekend it got better.

Per bird or total per day? And you bought the b vitamin from TSC or Walmart?

There has to be something connected to seizures in ducklings and overstimulating the brain and their senses. I’ve experienced this myself in two different ducklings. As well as many others who have described the same scenario. For me it was opening the shed door unexpectedly or flipping on a light would trigger it.

I had the vitamins from Walmart so it is not nearly as concentrated as the tsc stuff.

Ok great to know. Give that little one 100mgs of niacin a day. Then check back in with me the next day would ya??

100 mg if the B complex or just plain niacin @CayugaJana ?

Since @Knighstar679 has the Walmart kind, she needs to look at the label and give the duckling 100mgs of niacin. Which equals out to 5mLs a day. But it will be ok if she can only get 3-4 down the little one.
