My duck started having problems about 5-6 weeks ago. She was gasping and I treated her for gape worm. I retreated her 3 weeks later. She appeared better after the first treatment but still wasn’t gaining weight back. This is the video I just took. She keeps flipping over and winds upon her back or side and can’t get up on her own. I also posted a video of her heavy breathing and her poop. Any advice would be great. My duck is a year old.
I have dewormed with Safeguard goat dewormer. Charcoal fir possible hardware disease. I took her to the exotics vet who basically had no clue and gave me injection antibiotics Ceftazidime which did nothing. She drinks and eats peas. She has niacin in the water and I’ve been trying to give her nutri-drench but she spits most of it out.

😞 I don't know. But I hated seeing her struggle like that.
What started first, the gasping or the falling over?

The gasping started first. That started 5-6 weeks ago and I treated with dewormer thinking it was gape worm. I retreated a few weeks later. She isn't gasping like that anymore but still seems to have a bit of open mouth breathing. The falling over started after the 2nd worming treatment.

Has she been laying eggs?
I had a call duck not too long ago that was breathing like yours.
I too gave her wormer and antibiotics.
I thought she was better and then I went out there one day and she was dead.
She appeared to have died from egg binding though.
So I feel like she had a combination of problems.

She hasn't laid an egg in over 5 weeks.
