Duckling choking on saliva?!

[Welsh Ducky]

Hello everyone. My 4 day old duckling seems to be gagging and swallowing, choking on salavia, what do I do??
Mama duck seems to be distressed..

She’s got salavia bubbles from nose and mouth, but still walking around and chirping, eating drinking, and took a little swim with mom, but I don’t want her choking on salavia...

Please help

Can you get her to vet?

If not, can you check her mouth and neck for stuck food or foreign bodies?

I cannot get her to a vet, but I’ll check her.

Hey. Sorry I thought I had uploaded to that thread but apparently I did not.
I checked her over, but looks like she swallowed what was troubleing her. She is pooping,eating, drinking, and peeping like a normal duckling. I let them out and mama brought here over to our creek (it’s shallow, slow moving, and I watched the whole time) mama splashed about and baby had some fun too. Dried them both off after and brought them back to their nest to warm back up. Very cute, looks like it’s going great. I’ll keep watching the duckling to make sure she’s not having this problem again, but looks like she’ll be alright.
