DUCK GASPING FOR 3 MONTHS PLEASE HELP (VIDEOS ATTACHED)

[Tekilou]

I’ve never heard of a duck having an upper respiratory infection for this long. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I may have. Can I ask why you haven’t tried an antibiotic if you have thought it could be URI?

Because I thought she may have aspergillosis and I read that if u gave her antibiotics it causes more harm than good to her body. Should i just try out the antibiotics? I was thinking of giving her baytril. Would that be right?

I'm here.

Since we don't know what she has going on I can't really say if giving her Baytril would help. But I sure couldn't watch my duck like this for 4 months without trying something if I couldn't get vet help.
It will have to be up to you if you want to treat her.

Is there a question?
I already posted earlier in this thread.

treatment is Ketoconazole

 

[DuckyDonna]

I've asked this a couple of times and so have others. Where are you located?

here is the link for ketoconazole. Apparently you aren't going to take her to a vet and it's not very expensive so what do you have to lose?

I got baytril today. I'm giving it her with food. Is the dosage 1ml for 5 days? What you think?
