They gave her oxygen & said she wasn't improving

Are you at the avian vet now?

I think she said she's not going there because it's too far.

If you’re close enough to the first vet, it might just be better to take her back there and euthanize her. She’s obviously struggling and if it’s hard for her to breathe she’s dying a slow death. She must be getting tired. If she gets too tired, she won’t be able to keep breathing.

Any of your other ducks had respiratory infections?

No

 

[ANightPerson]

She's having trouble breathing... obviously.

The regular vet...what did he say?
Did he look in her mouth?

She said that they don't have the equipment to treat her and to take her to the specialist. They put her on oxygen and she didn't improve

What did they think is wrong with her?

I don't know the current status and I have not read all of the replies, however I have seen videos where people say that the chicken winds up eating too much of hay and the hay winds up becoming almost like a bird's nest in their throat. And I've seen )on videos where the vet opens up the throat (I don't know the technical term for it) and extract the plug

What about blowing in her face/nostrils or trying to use a dropper to get water down her throat? (Just throwing out ideas...I've never dealt with that.)

That's all that they said
