Why is my ducklings neck tucking under?

Niacin will not treat wry neck, for wry neck you need thiamine, and I think I would give some vitamin e too.

B complex @casportpony

I am not sure on Selenium dose

One needs to be very careful with this as it can be very toxic.

 

[Miss Lydia]

That’s why I did say dose.

B complex @casportpony

That is what I would try, that and some vitamin e.


This is what I would use, and I would give this duckling 0.1 to 0.25 ml orally.

If your in the USA and I can’t see on my phone. Best place for liquid B Complex is TSC

Your duckling has a good chance but she needs treatment ASAP

If you are going to give her the vitamins mixed in with scrambled eggs, then don't worry about adding selenium. The eggs will have enough. You only need a very small amount. I like giving the scrambled egg mixture to my birds when wry neck happens because they love it and gobble it up. This way I'm not worried about them not getting the supplements they need. Very important to start treating her immediately

I am not sponsored in any way by the makers of Chick Booster, but this vitamin supplement has saved many of my baby quail, baby chickens and sick adult bird's lives.

Keep in mind that you'll only be adding 1 to 2 mililiter per liter of water. Serve all that you mix on the same day, discard any that's mixed that's unused as it will grow undesirable bacteria. Apparently it tastes good, my chicks prefer it over plain water. On average, they drink twice as much vitamin water vs plain water; tested numerous times by only offering one or the other on different days, they consistently drink more when offered chick booster in their water.

The following breakdown is per 1000 milliliters:

Vit. A (as retinol palmitate) 2 500 000 UI, Vit. D3 (as cholecalcipherol) 500 000 UI, Vit. E (as alpha tocopherol acetate) 3750 mg, Vit. K3 (as menadione sodium bisulphite) 250 mg, Vit. B1 (as thiamin hydrochloride) 3500 mg, Vit. B2 (as riboflavin 5 sodium phosphate) 4000 mg, Vit. B3 (as nicotinamide) 10 000 mg, Vit. B5 (as calcium pantotenate) 15 000 mg, Vit. B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) 2000 mg, Vit. B7 (Biotin) 2 mg, Vit. B9 (as folic acid) 250 mg, Vit. B12 (cyanocobalamine) 10 mg, Vit. B15 (Sodium Pangamate) 1 mg, Vit. BH (as Inositol) 3.0 mg, DL-Methionine 5000 mg, L-Lysine (as hydrochloride) 2500 mg, L-Threonine 500 mg, L-Tryptophan 75 mg, L-Histidine (as hydrochloride) 900 mg, L-Arginine (as hydrochloride) 490 mg, L- aspartic acid 1450 mg, L-Serine 680 mg, Glutamic acid 1160 mg, L-Proline 510 mg, Glycine 575 mg, L-Alanine 975 mg, L-Cysteine (as hydrochloride) 150 mg, L-Valine 1100 mg, L-Leucine 1150 mg, L-Isoleucine 125 mg, L-Tyrosine 340 mg, L-Phenylalanine 810 mg, Nucleotides 5000 mg, Essential fatty acids 500 mg, Sodium Selenite 125 mg, Potassium iodine 500 mg, Cobalt (as Cobalt Gluconate) 500 mg, Copper (as copper edetate) 200 mg, Manganese (as Manganese-edetate) 1000 mg, Zinc (as Zinc-edetate) 3000 mg, Iron (as Iron-edetate) 210 mg, Sodium chloride 10 000 mg, Potassium chloride 8250 mg, Magnesium sulfate 455 mg, Citric acid 3000 mg, excipients q.s. ad 1000 mL.

Quick math: Move decimal point three spaces to the left to determine the amount of an ingredient in a 1 milliliter per liter formulation. Multiply the resulting figure by two if you elect to dose them at 2 milliliters per liter.
