Respiratory Infection
Respiratory infections can occur in ducks for a variety of different reasons and can be bacterial, nutritional, toxic, fungal, viral, traumatic, or parasitic in origin. Respiratory disease can occur in the upper or lower respiratory system, in which each system has specific clinical signs associated with infection which can be ruled out through the use of various diagnostic techniques by your veterinarian.
Isolate the bird from the flock and place in a safe, comfortable, warm location (your own duck "intensive care unit") with easy access to water and food. Limit stress. Call your veterinarian.
