Would pictures of an adult duck mouth be helpful?

Would pictures of an adult duck mouth be helpful?

I was hoping if I could find a duckling mouth throat etc I could compare hers on the chance that I would find the problem. I've looked in her mouth hoping to see something stuck but didn't see anything obvious. I'd like to find information on how eating, drinking, breathing works.. just to see the process and to know if I did something wrong.

Have you been giving her anything by mouth?

How about that picture with the mouth open that shows where to put syringe when giving meds? That shows the inside pretty good. @casportpony

The respiratory tract start with the nostrils and from there it goes:
choanal slit, glottis, trachea, air sacs and lungs

I can’t get on my computer to pull up the picture.

I could post it, but I am hoping to get people to understand all of the parts involved first and I don't remember if the peacock picture shows the choanal slit or not.

Like special treats? When I looked in her mouth this morning I dropped some nurtri-drench in so she'd get some quick vitamins. Nothing else by hand. She did eat some mealworms with liquid vitamins on them, that's their usual "treat" so we could fix the other ones leg issue . I was surprised to see her eating that and drinking water with em. Still no actual food. I'm assuming the worms taste better so she'll be happy with the treat. I'd like to see actual food though.

I will look right now. Thank you!

I've got a hold of a couple vets near me, I thought my local livestock vet would see ducks but they dont. I found one that does but can't get her an appointment until wed of next week yikes! That's a long time to wait, i made the appointment incase I can't find anyone else sooner, if she's still alive then too. Thats iffy.

Thank you. Right now I have no idea what those words mean but I will do some learning right after I post. Now I know what words to look for.
