Sick duckling with respiratory issues :(

Well I'd give the meds a try, she is hanging on and eating and drinking so she hasn't given up.

Ok. Thank you

She is better than i described in the first post. She doesn't breathe through her mouth anymore or scratch at her nares. She still seems to have a few issues like when she drinks i can sometimes hear a little raspyness as though a bit went into her lungs, then she'll shake her head and then be fine. And she doesn't like to swim like her siblings so every now and then i take her inside for a warm bath cause she gets dirty. Shes slowly slowly catching up to her siblings, but i guess that's because theyre almost full grown and have slowed growing as well. Her body still moves when she breathes and shes still a bit lethargic.

Hi, I know this is over a year ago, but I have a duckling I hatched in the incubator with the same problem. So wondering if yours ever made it? Don't want to cull since it does eat and drink, but like yours was - low energy, sometimes raspy breathing and scratches it's bill a lot.
