Duck not acting well

Date sort Score sort
We have not seen him poop recently and its been a couple of days since he started breathing like this. When we started to read up on what could be wrong and we decided to try a molasses flush which I did yesterday but obviously that did not help. When I went home for lunch today he was like this. Would an antibiotic help? I am still going to see if I can get him to a vet.
 
An antibiotic might help, but getting one that will work is not easy. Can you put him somewhere other than the grass so you can see what his poop looks like? In dog crate on towels, in bathtub on towels, or bathroom floor on towels?
 
I am not going to be able to get him to a vet at least not today, my vet is not available until Monday. I will separate him to see if I can get a look at his poop but my wife said she has been watching him and following him a lot and has not seen him go. Is there anything that you think that I could try that may help. Thanks for your help already you have been great.
 
You could place in a quiet place on a towel as I suggested with access to food and water. You might also want to get a baseline weight on him an start weighing daily.
