Duckling breathing weird opening mouth every breath and shutting it

[Toreyb]

My duckling born Friday keeps sitting down kind of like hyperventilating I guess is the best way to describe it and each breath he’s opening and closing his beak and not cheeping much and I’ve tried getting him to drink he has but I’m not sure if he’s eaten and he won’t eat for me right now it’s just pankining me because the other duckling in with him is really loud alert awake and running round eating and drinking please help is this Normal ??

No.... Try to give him raw egg to eat and put garlic powder in it to help his respiratory system.

Take a video
Are his eyes responsive to light?
Did he have any other possible injuries?
is he picked on?
Is he raspy when he breathes?

Do you have a cell phone? If so, take a video, create a YouTube or Vimeo account, then try to figure it out.

Also, be sure its bottom is clear. I think pasty butt is the first thing I check for any time a baby is acting off. Perhaps because it’s the easiest thing to fix.
