Sorry for posting 2 problems, but I have 2 ill birdys....

Ihave a 6 week old duckling and for.... Like a month, he has looked like is gasping for breath, and sounds like he as asthma. No runny nose or eyes. Just the breathing. Also, he seems to have an odd body shape. Like his legs grew up to tall.... Very hard to describe and I havnt been able to get a picture of him. He also does not walk very much, and has just started to get his feathers, he has been downy the whole time. ( I think its because Ive kept him inside where it is warm for 4 weeks....) Iwill try to get a picture if that will help. Oh, and he did have droppings stuck on his vent. I have tried to give him dried lavender, because lavender has anti fungal, anti biotic properties, but he wont eat them..........
