I hate to say it but this doesn't look good, especially with the breathing problem. Looks like it may have an infection that has progressed into a systemic one. I don't suppose you have any baytril? If you do I'd start giving him some right away.

Could the little one have gotten stepped on or accidentally dropped?
What antibiotics do you have on hand? have you tried other vets in your area? just thinking if this is an infection the faster you get antibiotics the better and a vet would be able to get them to you. You can take a towel make it like a donut and place the duckling into it feet first so it can eat and drink without help. Just set feed and water close enough it can get to it.
What did you do for the duckling since you thought it had a niacin def?

@FreedomFarmVT any news on your duckling?

It seemed like it had a fever 2 days ago, but it's doing better. It's been able to sit, and it's eating and drinking.

Quakers seems to be doing better. It's been sitting and eating and drinking, so we're taking it day by day.

The leg is still out to the side but Quackers isn't falling over as much while sitting. I did post a pic of em from this afternoon.

Where in VT are you and which vet did you try? I can suggest a couple that might be willing to get Quackers in sooner.

No we don't have any Baytril, but Quackers is doing better.
