Answer 7

Oh god (twistedsoul) You are nasty.I am sorry I hope Ducky will be ok but it sounds to me as though she maybe very sick.she could be egg bound? I am not much help.I hope she will survive good luck.

Answer 8

How old is she? Is she a crested duck? Crested ducks have alot of neuroogical problems that could cause that. You need to give her brewers yeast so she will get niacin. This helps the leg weekness. Sprinkle it on the food. You also need to mix some electrolytes in her water to try and build up her strength. You can get it at feed stores.

She could also be egg bound. Has she been laying then stopped? Try floating her in some warm water in the bathtub several times a day.
