Rouen duckling breathing loudly

[kayandkendrick]

Hi, I have a drake rouen who is about 10 weeks old (uncertain; he was bought at a farm store and given to me unceremoniously. He is about half feathers, half fluff, still peeps but quacks sometimes) and when he has his daily bath, he breathes a little hard. His nose is completely clear, I can see through it and have seen no discharge at all. He's very energetic and eats very well, runs and swims happily.

I used a new bedding that I've since removed that was much finer and imo lower quality than the one I raised him with before, and I'm wondering if it's more of a concern than a simple irritation? I've seen that Pekin ducks are heavyweight and can breathe a bit harder because of it, is this at all a possibility?

Because of how I got him, I don't have a vet lined up, and everything makes me panicked when it comes to him

You can post a video on YouTube and then link here if you are really concerned. But, your description sounds like he is fine.

Thank you for saying, I'm keeping a close eye on him for now, since he's still alert and lively as he should be
