I would try putting her in warm bath water for as long as you both can stand it? If she’s trying to blow her nose under the water and digging her foot at her face she likely had something stuck and hopefully the warm water will dislodge it. Is the weather still yucky where you live? I ask because my dogs do this dry sneeze thing in the winter. If his nares are dry, it could feel itchy like there is something in it when it’s just dry. And I believe @onaharley had something similar with her duckling. But I believe he grew out of it.

I will put her in a warm bath right now. The weather has been all over the place ..stormy then sunny the snow..rain.. 70 one day..30 the next .

I just gave them the worm vitamins and she did eat some and drink a little. No food or wet food . Barely any water. She wasnt as gluttonous as usual.

Afterwards she wondered for a minute, layed down.. and then jumped up shaking her headso hard that she tripped while squealing. It was weird . She was squealing right before this too, do ducks throw up the way we do? She was having some sort of pain right before she shook ... I didn't see anything come out of her mouth.

Is there any way to clear her mouth or throat or get her to just empty everything?

I still don't feel anything in belly or see anything weird with butt. Her butt did feel slightly larger than the others? Is that something?

Great advice!! Yes, mine had breathing problems and it always sounded like something was stuck in his nose but nothing was. The best thing you could do it get some Vet Rx and apply just after a warm bath. Just a little under its nares. Make sure you warm it up before you apply it. It’s an oil based product so you can just put a dab on your finger rub it on

She is not doing well. Wont lay down or sit, just stands and closes her eyes. Will not eat, only a drink here or there and not a lot. I need to di something today or she won't make it.

She did blow in the bath yesterday but still nothing. I got her mouth open and looked for anything and there was nothing I could see cause a blockage.

I was able to get some nutri drench in her mouth hoping the vitamins would do good and not just prolong the inevitable.

She did eat some mealworms with liquid vitamins on them and drank a little too.. just not a ton.

I don't know what to do for her. Except for helping to break or move something thats stuck . Still pooping. 99% it's just water .

I can hear her breathing too.

I'm uploading videos right now and will post in just a minute.

I wish i could help her.. any ideas????
