Breathing heavy

[VOX]

Pearl, one of my female ducks(already layed four eggs this week

), has been breathing kinda heavy. Sign of worms/or respitory problems? just a wild guess lol. shes 5 months old. Should i worm her or what? or do you even have to worm ducks?

Worms could be one reason for her trouble- but it could be other issues as well such as issues with her respiratory tract. It wont hurt to worm them all anyway as a precaution.

good idea. I would have already did it but i wasn't for sure if they had to be a certain age or something. ill get her some duck wormer and see if that helps. If it dosent help then ill take her to the vet. Other wise shes doing very well, eating and drinking very well, playing with her duck friends, you know normal ducky stuff

Breathing heavy is serious. She's in trouble. If you are able to get her vet attention, it may save her.
