I am not sure what is wrong but my duck is not eating but is drinking water. He seems to be opening and closing his beak a lot and kind of staying away from the other ducks (1 male and two females) and just finding a place to sit down. He will get up and walk with them here and there. I am not sure what to do for him and I honestly am not sure he is even a male. I have never seen him try to mate with the females and for the first I thought he was female. I have added a youtube link to the video I took.

Can you get him to a vet? He looks really sick.

I will see if I can find a vet that I can bring him to. Is there anything I can do on my own?

Seems to be struggling to breathe. If respirstory he’ll need antibiotics asap .
No, I don't think there is much you can do, he is very sick.
The way he is breathing is what really worries me. He's doing that abdominal breathing which is a sign that something is very serious.

Must be something respiratory. Really needs a vet to check the only way you can get antibiotics is on line or through a vet on line would take to long and then knowing what to give having a vet listen to his chest they can most likely tell right off if it’s respiratory
