Duck gasps for air!

[Bumblebeeduck111]

PLEASE PLEASE help me. My call duck, Bumblebee is 2.5 months now. I noticed he started gasping for air or something. Im worried. What should I do? I have a video of him doing it in the bathtub

. I dont know whats going on but he seems to have stopped for now. I dont know what to do. He also does what appears to be backflips in the water? Cant tell if its neurological or related to the gasping. He seems fine now but should I be worried?

I am not knowledgeable of ducks, but @Miss Lydia and others may chime in. Do you have others? How does he act out of the bathtub?

I can’t hear the gasping in the video very well although my ducks did sound very funny when their voices started to change from baby to adult quack for awhile they sounded like they were losing their voice. As for the bath tub if he only does that in the tub and not outside of it then he’s probably just bathing.
Have you noticed anything else unusual with him?

I can't hear it either but that little thing sure looks lively and happy.

I see what you are talking about
Often ducks will act like they are about to talk but nothing comes out
This is when they are clearing the crop
My ducks all do this too
Mine do these flips in the water too
I think he looks just fine

Thank you all so much for the help! He is doing very well and happy. He is one of my first ducks, and my favorite, so I’m very protective of him lol
