duck with vaguely strange behavior -- any thoughts?

It's late at night and I just made the duck some applesauce to hide her medicine in tomorrow morning like one does to toddlers. I feel comfort knowing I'm doing everything I can at this point.
 
Unfortunately a bit more lethargic this morning. Left her with some clean hay to snuggle with, food, clean water, and several treat options. Took small nibble of oatmeal. I'm still not sure if she will make it but she sure is hanging on...
 
I left the meds mixed with food in with her in hopes she'd eat it.

An avian specific vet (different from our house call vet who takes farm animals but doesn't specialize in them) had an opening tomorrow morning so I made an appointment. I want to try to get her fluids and see if there is an injectable option for medication. Will hear about the fecal results from reg vet today. Any tips for transporting sunny to the vet would be nice. 30 min drive. I plan to bundle her up into a cat carrier but I am worried about the stress of the transport.
 
Cat carrier always best and cover with a towel I also put a towel under the bird and bring along a spare. She will still be stressed what animal isn't but hopefully you can get her help.
 
So it does appear that sunny has stopped eating. Once again just hoping we can make it to the vet.
