duck with issue. Might be respiratory.

[JRies]

Today when I let my runners out one girl was laboring to walk. I scooped her up and quickly made a pen in the house. Let her rest with food and water but wasn't interested.
So after resting for the morning I filled the bathtub for her and she did great. Put her on the couch and heard a little respiratory issue. By the way she is really happy on the couch resting watching TV while Im writing this.
I gave her some guesswork antibiotics and noninflammatory.
Any thoughts on what I really should be doing.

What antibiotic are you using?
Do you have any Oxine ah? it can be mixed with water and put into a spray bottle and misted over their head to fall onto their face.

im using ENROTEX I gave her a oral dose yesterday then put it in her water. And naproxen as a oral dose since she seemed really hot but not panting. She is in a clean environment right now, Oxine ah looks like a good thing to clean her outdoor pen with will get some. Today Im going to use bleach and dawn there indoor pens all have washable walls
This morning she is talking standing But it looks like she has not eaten or drinking much yet.
She did get a warm bath yesterday do was able to clean herself well.
yesterday when I petted her she has labored breathing but only when Im petting or stroking her neck.
Today she is more labored

I use oxine ah in my coops I spray bedding after cleaning and roosts after cleaning. i have also sprayed my birds once they all go in for the night using the mist n my sprayer and just letting it gently fall down onto their heads so they breathe some in. this is where I first heard of Oxine ah https://rumble.com/v200bwm-episode-2364.html
Hopefully, all your doing will help get her feeling good again I'd not let her go long without eating though you might want to look into tube feeding.

We have info on tube feeding here on BYC if you need it.

She is eating and drinking today content to stay laying in her little pen and talk to all the birds on the other side of the window. But her breathing is still deep breathing. Im not sure if I should give her another warm swim in the bathtub. Most of my girls are on the older side I think she is one of my 4 year olds.
The rest of the flock got a full clean and wash out today.

As long as she doesn't get chilled a warm bath might make her feel good.
That's great she is eating and drinking.
If you have Vet RX you could do a dry sweep across her nares and put some in her water it's supposed to help with respiratory issues. Similar to vicks vapor rub for us humans.

I actually have vet RX I will give it a try Thank You I think the bath will make her happy and the good news is I can change her doggy dippers which are ducky dirty and have some couch time with her,

Don't you just love them? She looked very relaxed on the couch yesterday.
My Runners all but 2 are going to be 7 in April and they have gone from black to almost white now. If they live through few more molts they maybe all white. Even my 3 yr old has a lot of white on her. I love how speckled they are now even my blue runner has alot of white on her now. Only my silver and fawn and white still look pretty much the same as they always did.

Yes I love every one of them its crazy during the day when they want something they let you know. When there done with you (which they never really are) They let you know. So independent so special but when they really need you they melt into you arms, I just got her out of her bath let her flap her wings all the way to the couch and she is waiting for me to come back but watching TV. There all so special. Iv had people wright me and say my runners dont want affection. Yes they do but on there terms.... Kinda like geese. Thank you she is doing ok right now but will probably bother you again... Going to be happy to spend time with her.

No bother at all. Just want to hear you say she’s well and doing great!!
