    It was not expired! I do remember that.

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    Pete is almost 100 percent better now, you can barely tell anything was wrong. And it turns out she's a very personable and outgoing duck when she's not in pain! Pete says thank you. I'm sad she suffered for so much longer than she could have due to a faulty (?) bottle of B complex. After a...

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    I have a theory on why Pete is only improving now, after maintaining the same dose for a couple weeks. I didn't want to say anything until I gave it a few days to be sure but... I ran out of my first bottle of B complex last week and opened the new bottle I had on hand, and I instantly noticed...

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    If you were talking about the D3, I bought it but I haven't actually used it, because Pete is suddenly showing improvement! Hadn't changed anything, still just dosing B complex. Maybe the niacin took a bit to kick in for her. No clue. I soak the B complex in freeze-dried mealworms.

    Thank you! I will read up and try that.

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    Hi, unfortunately Pete hasn't gotten any better nor worse. On 150mg per day. I'm thinking of taking her (or a video of her) to the local country vet but i doubt it will accomplish anything honestly. He's a wonderful very knowledgeable fellow who sees basically any kind of animal, and I'd trust...

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    Cheerio the Welsh seems totally recovered! I will continue to dose her for a couple weeks. However, Pete the appleyard is still about the same. She's maybe a bit better. Today I started upping her dose from 100mg/day to 150mg/day, let's see how that does. Thank you for checking in :)

    No substantial update, just cute ducknagers in a baff :) our three mallard-derived girls.

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    They were both perfectly healthy and active up until a couple days ago when I made this thread. I'll try the warm water therapy! I've been avoiding moving or stressing them too much. Ever since this issue cropped up they've been very touch averse. But I think we can manage it. Thank you!

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    Update: So the other day Cheerio the Welsh was walking stiffly and falling over. Pete the appleyard was just walking stiffly. Today Cheerio is doing much better. However, Pete is doing about the same, perhaps worse. Vid below. Cheerio is comfortably walking around while Pete just wants to sit...

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    You are a blessing, thank you! Ordered one. Cheerio and Pete the Cat have been taking their doses. I really think that its the same thing affecting them, whatever it is. But it's affecting Cheerio the welshie worse than Pete the appleyard. If Cheerio gets stressed or tired out that's when she...

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    Noted! I did see both of them eating their pellets though, and their crops feel full. Let me read up on that and see if it fits.

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    I was wondering that myself. I hope it's not a pondwater issue! It's a healthy fishpond. Lead levels are good, I'm not sure what else I'd test for. They're all eating the pellets, crops are full. Thankfully both Pete and Cheerio ate their doses this morning. But I'll get that duckling...

    3wk old duckling suddenly having trouble walking/falling over

    I noticed Cheerio the Welsh Harlequin duckling having issues when I took the crew outside this afternoon: She had zero issues this morning. Now she keeps falling on her back and walking weirdly. Not favoring one of her feet, seems to affect both sides. Ever since yesterday I noticed the...
