Sick duck?

[keitorin]

hello everyone, my new duck that i rescued from drowning 4 days ago is breathing loudly and has some boogers. tomorrow is sunday, so vets won’t be open. is there an antibiotic she can have? i think she might have inhaled water when she was drowning. thanks

Can you post some pictures and a video? Close up pictures of the eyes and nostrils will be helpful.

Ducks can have any antibiotic, but choosing the right one can be tricky. Do you have any Baytril or Cipro?

will get a video soon.. i’m currently at church so it will be a few hours. she doesn’t seem to be sick other than her breathing. we put some apple cider vinager in her water. she loves to eat and drink.

Sounds like it will be fine .....provide water deep enough to clean its nares and eyes multiple times a day ...

Breathing loudly and boogers could mean she has a respiratory infection, which is why it would be best to get pictures and a video.

here is a video of your turn volume up you can hear her breathing

also the way she shakes her head like that is like she’s having a hard time keeping food down because sometimes when she does that she spits out food.
