Hi I have a duckling that's 22 days old (breed unknown.) He's usually really active and runs around a lot. However i was cleaning his house today and I put him behind a baby hate when the gate fell onto the poor guy. I lifted it off of him quickly. The mesh part (possibly the wood part I didn't get a good look) hit him. He has no visible injuries but now he's just sitting down in one spot. He won't swim or run. I gave him his favourite treat, grapes, and he only ate some of the grape that I cut into eighths as opposed to his usual 2 grapes. I also noticed that his breathing seems to be labored. He breathes with 2 breaths and I just noticed now that he's making a weird snorting noise sort of like when you're trying to breathe with a stuffy nose or something. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

Looks like my Swedish blue? Try putting in water, see if she will drink. Mine always would sound stuffy if they hadn't been in the water. Maybe? Just a guess.
