He might have breathed in some water???
Could he be really cold and going threw hypothermia???
He did breathe in some water I heard like him trying to breathe water out. I put a blanket over him he looks calmer he isn’t breathing through his nose anymore he is also breathing at a normal pase

He also tried to get up before I put a blanket over him and he tried to walk but fell he was shaking to stand up
 
Update he woke up dead and didn’t survive the night we saw he was doing better he was starting to move around and everything he looked much better he was walking again little bit he was able to walk back and forth he looked very sleepy or tired he didn’t want to eat or drink water all day though. I saw him sideways with his eyes open is that any help on cause of death ??
 
I'm very sorry. It's hard to say why this happened. Could have been something internal we just have no way of knowing with out a necropsy.
Do you have other ducklings or ducks?
