I need help!! My duckling can hardly breath !!😭😭

Is there any way you can get her to a vet? Steam may help reduce upper airway irritation and to help to her breathe, Could you set her in a hot shower(Not under the water) for a while and see if that helps. I'm totally inexperienced with toxicology care, much of my information is coming off the internet.

Hello my name is Evelin and I have two ducklings I got them from tractor supply I’ve always wanted to have ducklings so I got 2. Like 5 days ago I had the heating lamp on top of their little plastic box and that made it caught fire but this never had happend to me! Like I was so scared that something happend I looked outside and I took the ducks out as fast as possible and I put them in a little pool that I got for them and they were safe. recently like 3 days ago my yellow duck has been having some problems to breathe she doesn’t make any noise or nothing she just wants to quack but it can’t and it is a little bit wheezing. I tried to give it 1 puff of my albuterol and she calms down but yet it happens again I have searched it up and I think it is smoke inhalation and I’ve also tried to call a vet but she just told me to put her in water. But that doesn’t help !!I don’t know what to do please help!!

omg i’m so sorry!!! is she ok?

Glad to hear! You can do it again if need be, she needs plenty of fresh air right now.

could you poat a video of her breathing ? Thatd be helpfull i think

 

[Evelinvalles]

Okay I couldn’t upload it on here but I posted it on your tube just right now so you guys can see her but I’m gonna take it down in a bit

 

[Dougdilman]

Oh yes thats not so good

Ive had chemical burns to my throat and lungs and smoke inhalation and it takes awhile to heal. Do you think she was actualy exposed to it that much?

I wish i could help more, all i can suggest is this product by green goo, tractor supply should have it, i have uses it on alot of birds

Your albuterol inhaler is also called salbutamol, theu give it to cats and i use mine on my cat when he wheezes by spraying it into a ziplock bag then holding the bag over his face

The meds work better when they have room to expand and THEN be inhaled, Like if you use your inhaler spacer, it makes it work better

But salbutamol and albuterol does raise heart rate and blood pressure so do some research about using it on birds
