Wobbly duckling. What to do?

[PirateGirl]

I would not get the second one as it's such a small amount. @casportpony can you confirm that the B-complex in @Zrach 's link above is good and confirm dosage if that is the product used?

It's here there are 2 to choose from one is TSC cattle dept it will say injectable but is given orally to our birds 1ml daily . the other one is Walmart or other human store 3ml dailyhttps://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/rescue-ducklings-niacin-riboflavin-deficiency.1228833/page-3 it's on page 3.

You rock!! Well it depend on how long she has been like this it may take less than a week or it could take 2-3 but after she isn’t showing symptoms any longer they will still need to be on some kind of niacin supplement until 10 weeks old. This is when they are growing their fastest and need the support for their leg muscles

ohh no! I only saw that one at Tractor Supply. Maybe I was in the wrong section. It was $20!

Is it this stuff that I need?

Yeah, I saw that after I posted. The stuff from Walgreens will work too.

I'd probably just keep at it until the bottle is gone, even after the wobble improves. The key is to keep up the supplement until they are mostly through growing. Domestic ducklings grow so fast it's hard for them to keep up nutritionally sometimes. Fingers crossed she makes a full recovery and doesn't have any underlying problems. I would expect to see some improvement after a few days.

Oh yes def finish off the bottle. Looking forward to updates.

@Zrach How’s your duckling doing?

 

[PirateGirl]

Yes, this looks like it may be the start of angel wing! Do a search on BYC and/or Youtube and you should find some different ways you can try and wrap it. It may or may not get better, but I'd bet you can stop it from getting worse.

 

[Zrach]

Thanks! Ill get right on that today! Thank you.

Does one wing look like it is too high and one looks like it is too low? Or is it just the low wing that needs help?
