lol yes sorry it does (i hope) it says to put two tablespoons in a 5 gallon jug which i did and then give that to her. she’s standing much better today and has a lot more energy. yesterday she wouldn’t even get up/slept the whole day
edit: is this enough for her? i read a lot of people sprinkle nutritional yeast on their food as well.
will this be enough for her? sorry for the questions every year i realize im not as good at this farming thing as i think i am lol

I still use Nutritional yeast on my flocks feed 3X a week when they are young they get it sprinkled over their feed daily but if already seeing a niacin deficiency it is best to use the Liquid B Complex it get them over it quicker and sounds like your little one is just showing symptoms so she should really respond to the Liquid B Complex.

i looked at that link u sent me and yes it does sound like it! would i have to order it ? or can i get it a pharmacy? i’m in rural newfoundland, so shipping can take quite a while.

You may find human B complex in a pharmacy that can be used. You just have to give double what the Durvet recommends. OR pills and crush

i’ve been giving her the vitamin pack everday since and some other vitamins waiting on the b complex. the last couple days she was walking with me and running and had seemed to get a lot of her footing back. today she seemed worse again and green snot was coming out of her nose. i’m so worried !

Sounds like she may have a sinus infection can you get antibiotics or do you have any?

no i don’t have any! i used to for my chicks but i haven’t had chicks in two years. wishing now i still had it, im sure it would have worked for my girl. the only vet here is 6 hours away and a fee of 200 just to come OUT here. i feel like im doing all the wrong things for her lol she was so happy and healthy yesterday ! i really thought she was getting better

my mom just made her a 5gallon bucket of water with oregano (for the infection) vitamin b2, the pack with the niacin in it, and gave her some peas. someone recommended i put her out with the other ducks (she was out with them yesterday running around with them. i didn’t want her sleeping with them yet until she had full balance) but now she can’t keep herself up long anymore and i don’t want them knocking her over.

You don’t want her with the others if she isn’t steady on her feet she can get trampled
