Wobbly duckling. What to do?

[Zrach]

I have a three week old duckling that has been wobbly since I got her at 2 days old. She doesn't seem hurt. She acts normal except for the wobble. Is this normal? And will she eventually get better?

Many thanks!

Can you take a video of her and upload to YouTube or Vimeo and copy the link here so we can see what you're seeing?
What feed is she getting?
Have you been giving her a niacin supplement?

I'd go and get some liquid B complex it can be given to any other ducklings you have too but when one is showing niacin deficiency giving the liquid B complex seems to help them quicker. You can get human at most stores that sell vitamins or go to TSC and buy in the cattle section.. TSC is 1 ml a day over feed or treats just enough of either so she gets full amount of the liquid. Or if you get human b complex it's 3ml day since it isn't as concentrated as TSC. Usually once started if niacin def and most likely it is they recover pretty quick possibly a week or less depending on how long it's been going on. So very important to get them started asap.

Sorry, I was unable to watch your video, but along with the B-Complex that others have mentioned, I would be sure to give your duckling swimming time every day. Sometimes this is easier for them than walking and will help strengthen leg muscles and improve coordination.

Thanks for the help! Ill get some complex b tomorrow and do more swim time.
