One of my six ducklings started coughing about two weeks ago but I put it off as him not getting enough water and just choking down his food. But today he has started to breathe very rapidly and heavily and I'm concerned. I also noticed he is pretty non-verbal and unable to make loud noises, just little squeaks. This is unusual of him as when I usually pick him up he screams in complaint. He also doesn't try to squirm out of my lap as much as he usually does, he just kind of gives up.
I have separated him from the others (where he can still see his siblings) and started him on Duramycin 10. What else can I be doing? Any ideas of what could be wrong?
