Baby duck can't poop and panicing. Please help!

[BlueChai]

I have a baby pekin duck about a month old and they've been very healthy and active. Today, I noticed that she was lifting her tail to poop, but nothing came out and she would only make panicked peeps. I put vaceline up her vent to see if it would help, but nothing happened. I then flushed her vent with some water, and nothing happened. I even had her swim around in her pool to see if it would trigger her to poop, and still nothing. Please help! This is the sweetest duckling ever and I would hate for her to die.

Did you try having her swim in warm water?

Yea I had her do it a few times and I think she may have pooped in the brooder. She's acting more normal and isn't straining or panicking anymore. I'll keep an eye on her though, just to be sure it's all fixed. Thank you!
