Hello again, back with another problem

[Crystins_homestead]

It's about my duck, Zelda and she's been opening and closing her mouth for three days now while pushing her head forward a bit . When looking it up, we found a video that showed it might be something she's choking on but when doing what was advised it hasn't cleared. Is she choking? Or is it something more? I tried attaching a video but I guess it's not supported?

You'll need to place your video on YouTube or another similar platform then copy and paste it here.
I am sorry Zelda is having trouble is it affecting her being able to eat or drink? Or breathe?

She's able to drink and eat a bit. I've been giving her wet food to see if it helps a bit.

Good idea about the wet food even soupy if that helps.
Her breathing is good no problems there?
Over all activity is she moving around foraging etc?

It's a bit raspy, I was wondering if it was a respiratory infection, and so I'm making some oregano tea to see if it helps a bit more. She is kind of moving around, but mostly she stays in one spot. We brought her in so we can keep a closer eye on her and also separate in case it is something that could get to my other ducks and the chickens.

I do believe in using natural products when we can, but sometimes we have to bring out the big guns, antibiotics. I keep Baytril on hand just for those times in case I need it right away and don't have to wait for it to get here.
I'll just give you this in case because it's just better to have it than not. https://allbirdproducts.com/products/baytril-10
I use Oregano every day in my flocks feed but if I have one getting sick I wouldn't hesitate in using an antibiotic to keep from losing one.

Thank you so much! I do agree that sometimes it does call for the big guns. Unfortunately, I just wasn't ready this time. I'm still a bit new to this, but I've been wanting to start an emergency medical kit for my birds as soon as possible.
