My 2 week old grey call duck seems to be gasping with every breath. She still eats and drinks and runs around with the others. Her poop is normal. What can I give her? You can hear each breath too. They are on pine bedding, getting the proper food and plenty of water. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Oh and she doesn't seem to be growing like the others either. She is very tiny.

Im sorry i don't know how to help you... do you think maybe he has a piece of pine shavings stuck in his throat? I hope someone on here will havo help for you... I hope he will be ok
 
Thanks Chixie. I started it on antibiotics and dropped a drop of VetRx on its bill. Watching closely for now. Peeps like its happy tho'.
 
are they gasping or more like panting,,
the other day when it was really hot here, mine were panting and they took a swim and after they came out they were fine

I hope everything is ok.
 
I too had the panting issue so I just popped the panters into a bath and they cooled right down. Also had a gurgling deal once, ducky was eating pine bedding, we had to use a straw to put water down her throat to get the shavings through.
