Wheezing 8 month old Duck

[Lindy Acres]

I have a 8 month old duck named Penny who has been slightly wheezing for 5 days or so. The other 3 ducks and 1 drake all sound normal. her breathing rate is the same as the others but it does seem slightly labored. She is eating a playing normally. They free range all day and are locked up in a duck house at night. I noticed it a few days after a serious cold snap. video of duck I tried to get the wheezing on camera but the background noise made it pretty hard.

I added some echinacea tea packet to her food this morning and have a call into the vet to have her checked out. I am looking to see if people have home remedies that worked for them or if their ducks have typically recovered from a slight wheeze. I am not sure how concerned to be honestly. Do they typically recover from apparent colds?

I am unfamiliar with that tea, it’s pretty hard to hear in the video, is there a way you could take the duck somewhere quiet and try again? Does she have a deep water dish she can clean her nostrils out in?

Sorry I never saw this reply. We ended up taking her to the vet and they weren't sure what to do about it. They gave us some antibiotic and it didn't help really. It's better on warm days so this summer she seems totally fine.
