Peking duck- is not walking well and is Fat!

First, thank you for your help and I will update you in a few more days.
Funny, but when we bought these ducks from TS - they had no idea what breed they were. We just wanted a few more ducks for our lake- we had lost a few to coyotes but expanded our runs so we could pen them at night. We've had a Khaki Campbell and a Rouen-males- (and a Canadian goose that never left) for a couple of years and they stay at the lake all of the time.
I kind of wish we had just stayed stet. One of the ducks had to be put down due to a broken leg and the others have exploded in size so I think they all might be jumbos/ it's just that the other two are normal weight- this one in question just seems fat but I held her for s while and am wondering if she might be swollen (?) The legs are not bowed.
I really think that the diarrhea may have gone on enough to cause her to be depleated of electrolytes and she just has no energy. Do you know if there is a home test for coccidosis? I wish.
I'm treating her for that (Corid)and supplementing with a good electrolyte solution along with niacin - and praying

Ducks usually have watery stools as they consume SO much water! I’d be worried if it was rock solid.
