No, I think it's more a respiratory risk type thing. Is there actually cedar inside your duck house or just outside?
I'm leaning towards some type of toxin here somehow. If it were the cedar I would think that both ducks would be sick though.
I wonder if it would be a good idea for him to do a flush @CayugaJana @Miss Lydia ??
But I don't know since he is already weak..
Does he gasp for air when sitting at rest too or just after exertion?

 

[Miss Lydia]

If he is eating good and drinking good a flush might not be a bad idea.

 

[Jpat]

No gasping at rest but he tires easily, He looks kind of haggard to me,

He seams to eat. Missy is 100% fine

His wings arent drooping it was just timing of the picture

Well. . he looks better than the other day. Is it normal for a Pekins bill to be so pale?

Maybe he has a heart defect? Of course it’s all a guessing game since we’re not vets but we do know a few that have more knowledge than us @Pyxis for one. If you want to try a flush with him I can give you the info when I get back to my computer .

 

[CayugaJana]

At the risk of telling you something you already know, his symptoms look serious and not likely to go away on their own. Have you tried doing a flush yet?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Jpat here is the link to the flushes they have to be followed just like prescribed.

I have used activated charcoal I haven't used the others.

Please keep us updated.
A vet is always a good way to go if possible, We def understand if it isn't feasible.

You are great Miss Lydia.
