Im wondering if anybody might have video or knowledge on what a duck's sneeze sounds like? I had to leave in a hurry this morning to get to work, so I didn't have time to give my ducks a bath. I came home and my new one sounded like he was sneezing, but now that they've had a bath, he isn't sneezing anymore, so I didn't know if he just needed mucous in his nostrils, or if I need to separate him from my other one and take him to the vet, ASAP. His voice kind of sounds deeper, too, but I didn't know if that might just be from him getting older. He is pretty big now (12 weeks old) and has these beautiful green/black feathers coming in.

a duck sneeze sounds like a wheezy dog sneeze
My friend's dog sneezes like one of those toy cars that you have to roll on the ground to get it going. So, like that? He hasn't been doing it today, but my duck kinda sounds like he's huffing, or like a short, quick blow of air out of his nostrils.

Was he drinking water or dunking his head when he sneezed? Ducks will sometimes make a sneezing sound when dunking their head to clean out their nares.

I didn't catch what he was doing when he made the sound, but he was near their water. He doesn't do it often, though.

If he doesn't do it often then he more then likely was trying to clean his nares. When ducks sneeze from respiratory viruses and issues it will be fairly often.
