@ak2787 nothing has worked yet
I just took my duck that has the same symptoms as yours to the vet. He believes it's botulism. I started it on niacin for a couple of days then switched to brewers yeast, he said it would be dead if I didn't do that and to continue brewers yeast until it's recovered. He said it probably would have improved on its own if I didn't bring it in as long as I kept up the brewers yeast but he also put the duck on antibiotics to help clear it up faster and make sure there's no complications. I was worried about the cost but my visit plus the meds was only $19 just in case you are worried about that. The vet specialized in poultry in school and has his own ducks so I trust him. Good luck!
