So I hope this is the appropriate area to ask for help. I wasn't quite sure. So sorry ahead of time if I posted in the wrong place.
Anyways, I got some Muscovies ducklings about two months ago from a farm that I wasnt to sure about. My biggest issue with the farm was they didnt provide any of thier waterfowl water to bath in. But like a dumb dumb I bought them anyways. When I brought them home the appeared to be healthy. Then about a month ago one started having leg tremors, weakness, and inability to keep up with the rest of hr flock. I thought this might be do to a niacin deficiency so I started adding brewer's yeast in to their food and niacin plus electrolytes to they're drinking/pool water.
Despite my efforts she continued to get worse additional symptoms such as continuous diarrhea and wry neck (I think) followed. So I took her to a veterinarian where they ran some tests nd took some X-rays. Everything came back negative. We did start her on an antibiotic but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I'm not getting any answers. What is going on with my Muscovy? Could it be botulism? could it still be a niacin deficiency? None of my other waterfowl or chickens are getting sick.
Here is a link to a video of some of the symptoms I was able to record.
