i recently brought her 4 days ago from a shop
she was absolutely fine back then and quite active.
2 days ago she was having trouble walking and was standing in awkward poses but i thought maybe it is cold so i put her in the room in the cage. and then now she doesnt seem to have difficulty walking instead she is having alot of problems breathing.
she literally moves up and down with every breath and opens her mouth. is this aspergilosis
she doesnt seem to eat much, or quack much, this quack in the vid was kind of exceptional, she recently makes a kind of peeping sound on breaths it almost looks like its having hiccups.
now she looks in so much pain, it breaks my heart to see her like this. please tell me what to do, it started breathing like this yesterday night and its morning right now.
 
Possibly a respiratory infection. It could be aspergillosis hard to say only a vet could determine that by examine. Is it possible for you to get antibiotics?
Does she have a bowl deep enough to dunk her head to clean her nares? what are you feeding her?
 
Yes I could get antibiotics, she does have. Bowl full of water but she seems so out if energy that she doesn't try. What kind of antibiotics do I need?
As for the feeding I fed her cracked corn feed and also ocassionally rice and some leaves of coriander and mint
The rest of my 7 ducks seems fine

Cracked corn is not a good diet she needs a balanced poultry diet. Can you buy a poultry feed? I am thinking your not in the US?
Even rice isn't a complete feed. Cracked corn is like candy it's a nice treat. Rice is a carbohydrate your duck also need protein along with the carbs. Canned salmon rinsed and drained or Tuna. Do your ducks forage during the day? asking because maybe with the diet your giving them they are finding their protein by foraging for bugs frogs etc. And this new duck not knowing her background before you got her gives you no idea what she was kept on or in. I'd def keep her inside away from your other ducks.
