Called a few veterinarians they won't help.

We can’t give help if you don’t put a lot of information about your duckling, just putting that out there.

What do you feed them?
How old is the duckling?
How many others are there?
What are the others’ age?
How often do you clean out the brooder?
Is the duckling sneezing, coughing, or discharge is coming out of the nose?
Do you have any vitamins in the water?
Do you take them out to swim or to forage at LEAST every other day?

How old is the duckling? APROX 4 weeks

Is the duckling sneezing, coughing, or discharge is coming out of the nose? None of this is happening.
Do you have any vitamins in the water? No vitamins in the water.
Do you take them out to swim or to forage at LEAST every other day? We let them swim once sometimes twice a week. Only has been nice enough outside to take them out once.
 
Does it look like this ? Because my duck is 1 month old and thinking he has niacin deficiency and tendon slippage because he grew so quickly and didn't have time to get the strength in his legs. We are giving bobs red mill LG flake yeast, niacin in water and B complex only been doing complex for 2 days but he seems much better, so I would try these things hope you get the answers you need to help your baby !

Oh my gosh it looks exactly like that! Thank you so much I will definitely try these things, just hoping we noticed it in time! This forum is awesome!
We are also hoping we got to ours in tike as well!! I will be posting updates about mine as time goes on! I also try to feed mine frozen peas and green beans. Thawed of corse. And I chop up the green beans so it's easier for them to eat. But not sure if yours wod be old enough to have those things ? I found a list on here somewhere of what you can give your ducks at what age. But nothing was really working until I got the vitamin b complex that you can get at tractor suply !
