Oh boy
after doing more research and finding these pages and charts I dont think I should treat her with Baytril. The first link by majestic waterfowl sanc has a diagnostic chart and Poppys symptoms best match up with Aspergillosis.
So I should beef up her Oxine AH treatments. When I had her indoors was when I was giving them and she seemed to be all better but when I stopped after a week she got worse.

Treating fungal infections with Baytril makes them worse.
New Aspergillus Treatment Options
It used to be that ducks and geese with aspergillus didn't stand much of a chance. Those that did survive had to endure long and grueling drug therapy that put their vital organs at risk. Recently, we have discovered a little known treatment for aspergillus and other upper respiratory fungal infections/diseases.
F10 SC Veterinary Disinfectant and
Oxine AH are disinfectant solutions that can be used as nebulizing agents by putting them into a vaporizer for your duck or goose to inhale. This means, before administering, you must set aside a safe place to treat them. Our friends at
Feathered Angels Waterfowl Sanctuary made a treatment tent by draping plastic over their quarantine pen. You can also use plastic to drape off a section of your barn.
Always follow product directions and safety information!
F10 SC Veterinary disinfectant and Oxine AH are safe and effective against a number of types of bacteria, viruses and mold and they're even safe for the environment. Both products can be purchased online.
Product Information:
Oxine AH comes in a larger, gallon size.
F10 SC Veterinary Disinfectant can be purchased in smaller, more economical sizes.
While experienced vets recommend either product, we only have dosage information for the F10 SC.
Before beginning any treatment regimes for your pet ducks or geese it is
VITAL that you take them to a qualified vet first.
F10 SC Dosage for Ducks & Geese:
Fill a vaporizer with a mixture of: 4 mls of F10 SC / 1000 mls of water.
Place the afflicted bird into your "tent" and run the vaporizer for 30 minutes.
Birds can return to their normal routines in between treatments and do not need to stay in the tent.
Repeat this treatment 3 times a day, every 8 hours.
Only treat afflicted ducks and geese. Remove healthy birds from the treatment area during administration.
Continue treatment for 2-4 weeks under vet guidance. Most vets will want to see the duck or goose every other week for x-rays to monitor their progress (unless conditions worsen).
