One of my Pekin ducklings is wheezing?

[L.L Farm]

Hi all, been forever since I have been on the forums, I recently relocated from Alaska all the way to the other side off the map to Maine. I didn't bring any of my birds with me but decided I wanted to get back into it, this time with ducks. I recently purchases 6 Pekin ducklings and have now had them for three days. When I was in Alaska I used to hatch chickens, quail and ducks so I am used to have them all as baby. So I wanted to ask this just as a precaution since I haven't had babies in a couple years.
Well the wheezing actually doesn't start until I water them every time since I refill a couple times a day, then I notice the wheezing in one duckling in particular, after he finishes up drinking. Then when I check on them in the morning, no more wheezing.
Could he just be accidently breathing in a little water when he drinks and the wheezing sound is from the water in the air ways?

Thanks for any info

Are your ducklings able to duck their heads into their waterer? sometimes they can get dust from their feed or just dust from their bedding into their nares And it's very improtant they are able to wash out their eyes and nares. a chicken waterer isn't very good for being able to do that. you could also put them into a nice shallow tub of water and let them wash real good and watch and see how the duckling is after. Welcome back and enjoy your little ones.Have you seen this? https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/750869/raising-and-caring-for-ducklings#post_10611711
