Tilted Duckling

[Stacykins]

This duckling, when swimming, always tilts 'her' head to one side (same side every time). As a result, she usually just swims in little circles towards that side. What is up with her? Ear and balance problem? When she is out of water, she doesn't walk wit ha head tilt, and stands up perfectly strait.



All these are pictures from a swim session where the duckling tilted in the entire time!

Even though you not seeing it yet in her walking I would start her and all your ducking's on either Brewers yeast sprinkled on top of their feed 1 tab. to a cup of feed or Plain niacin added to their drinking water. If you get the niacin be sure it isn't the time released or flush free. you may have to ask for it since most have said it's behind the counter. 150 mgs to 1 gallon of water. Making sure this little one has free access to both food and water. And what precious lil ducklings.

Niacin supplement, got it. I actually have some brewers yeast on hand! I may mix some in with their feed and a bit of hot water (make a mash for 'em basically) because they snarf it down that way!

Great idea, mine love their feed moist and it is a great way to get them to take their meds[sneaky] let us know how she does. I could just pick it up and snuggle it that 1st pic is just so adorable.
