Duckling problem?

both my ducklings have diarrea is there anything i can feed them to help them? also i think something is wrong with one of the ducks legs they are really bony higher up and are bent really weird. is there anything i can do for it?
thanks
Answers:
it maybe the food they are eating change it a bit and try different things
there can be several reasons for the bony bits.. and for the diarrhea.
it might be related to nutrition - what are you feeding them? dont feed them bread or any human food that they wouldnt eat in the wild. you need a good mix for ducks from a petshop.. vegges are ok too..

if you ARE feeding them properly, take them to the vet - diarrhea can kill them - they may have bacterial infections.
.
Your ducklings, sound like ducklings. They tend to have runny feces when they are young, especially ducks.
As for the legs, it may have split leg, which they get when they are first born and the bones dont seal right.
As long as your ducklings are able to drink and eat fine, i wouldn't be worried at all
I am sure everything will be just fine.
