My duck has a wheeze, she sounds like her nose is stuffy. I’ve done vet Rx for 3 days with no difference. Discharge, I’ve heard her sneeze a few times and cough once over the past few days. What else can I do?
 
Is a veterinarian an option?
Do you have a video of her wheezing?
Has her appetite changed at all over the last week?
How does her abdominal area feel?

Have you examined her upper respiratory system (nares, glottis, choanal slit) for any lesions, mucous, plaques, foreign objects, etc?

If you have access to a stethoscope, could you try placing the diaphragm on the bird's cranial dorsal region? Listen for crackling, heavy breathing, etc.

I was able to get a vet to see them (now both ducks have the wheezing in the nose)
They really didn’t know much about duck so I’m a little nervous. They gave me sulfadimethoxine. Told me to dilute 2cc to one pint of water for six days
