Welcome to BYC. Yes, you can give amoxicillin, but it might not be the best choice. Is a vet an option?

No, I am having a very hard time finding a vet near me. I spoke on the phone with one and from what I’ve told her she believes it is pneumonia and the duckling is so young still that she might not make it but I want to try everything I can.

Baytril would be a better antibiotic choice. Please try to find a vet that will see the duckling.
