It may have a respiratory infection. Do you have Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks? There are some antibiotics recommended.

Is there anything stuck in its throat? Does it have access to water? Has it been exposed to moldy food or bedding?

It may have pneumonia! Which can happen by a duckling drinking too fast and getting water in the lungs!
