Something isn't right with Boss, my Muscovy Drake

[Ducklover77]

My Drake has been breathing funny and I got it on video today. It gets much worse then what I recorded he isn't really eating much either. Maybe the heat, it was 95 today but I'm getting very worried anyone have any ideas

Can you take him to a vet?

Unfortunately not at the moment

Can you do another video, but close up this time?

Do you give him crumbles? Do they have any water to swim in? (Cute ducklings, by the way!)

 

[Ducklover77]

Yes I'm at work right now but first thing in the morning I will post a better one

I give them pellets. They also get cracked corn once a day and a few little treats here and there throughout the day. They have a pond and I always have fresh water out for them I'm about to get a little pool because they are lazy butts and probably don't want to walk to the pond thank you she only has 3 ducklings left out of 11 because another mama stole hers

I thought maybe he was panting because of the heat but this is kind of different

If he ate anything that could be turned into a mash when mixed with saliva, he could be choking but since it’s been going on a while probably not. You could take a peek down his throat to be 100% sure, though.

A think a close up video is a good idea. He wagged his tail when mama an ducklings came into view.
