Hi everyone just wanted to share my experience with my pekin duck and her seizures in hopes it may help someone else.
*Disclaimer I am not a vet*
My pekin is about 4 yrs old and has had seizures since 16 weeks, we suspect from genetic issue or trauma. We have found that stress triggers hers seizures. She has never been able to lay a normal egg. If she does manage to produce one it's a soft shell or no shell. She is on a high quality feed, free choice oyster shell and free ranged.
Previously if we noticed a seizure we'd give her 1ml vit b complex IM or SQ and that would help her for a few days/weeks. Lately her seizures have increased to multiple episodes a day, everyday. I was starting to debate her quality of life. I decided to try one more thing, CBD oil. I give her 0.1ml cbd orally daily as well as 1ml vit b complex IM or SQ as needed. I have seen a decrease in her seizures, she seems more alert and more like her normal happy self.
I hope this helps someone in a similar situation
