Help !! Duck acting like she needs to puke

[Kazizl]

My female duck has been making odd jerking motions like she needs to vomit for about an hour now. I can hear occasional gurgling sounds from i assume her crop. I tried massaging her chest, gave her some grit and olive oil, she's drinking water but it won't stop. All she ate today is some kale, peas, mazuri feed, and happy hen treats pond mix with access to grit. I linked a video of it. I don't know if i should try to get her to throw up or what to do. Any advice is appreciated !!
She's in the middle of a molt which is why her wings look like that. She hasn't laid for about 2 weeks I assume because of the molt.

I don't have ducks, but her actions do look like she's trying to adjust her crop.
I'd take care giving liquid oil since they can aspirate. For a chicken, I give hardened pieces of coconut oil and let them swallow it.
What does her crop feel like, is it hard, soft, squishy, doughy?

You don't want to make them puke, they can aspirate what comes up. They have the ability to puke if they need to. The fact that she is still drinking is a good sign. You can try straightening it's neck and gently massaging it's throat to help aid movement of food down to it's crop.

It is not normally how they act when they have something stuck. Normally they stretch their neck out, swallow and gasp a bit. And they also shake their head a bit too trying to move things. But that doesn't mean that is not what is happening here.

If it is food and doesn't correct itself on it's own, you can use a catheter down it's throat to dislodge it.

How is it today?
If she is still doing this open her mouth and look at the back of her tongue And see if there is something stuck in her airway (that hole way back in the back of her tounge) or throat.
You can gently massage the throat and crop area But don't push around on it you don't want to induce vomiting Because of aspiration. A duck does not have a true crop like a chicken does their esophagus expands. So when you're feeling around don't be alarmed if you don't feel the "crop"

A ducks crop doesn't feel like a chickens. It's like the entire thing can get full and almost drag the ground. They get a saggy front like they grew a set of boobs when they eat a lot
So you don't want to go pushing around on there trying to find the "crop"
Sometimes just putting pressure on that area like when you're picking them up can make them vomit.

Does she have an open water source deep enough water to dip her entire head in? Sometimes they can make some scary sounds because they need to clear out their nares and it could take a little while for them to do this.

My chicken has recently been doing the same thing. However, she hasn't eaten anything besides mealworms for at least the past couple of days. We think the other 2 chickens have been bullying her because they know she's not feeling well. She is also making these weird noises when she tries to breathe. I don't know how to explain it. PLEASE HELP!

Feel her crop, what's other feel like? What's her normal diet?

Her crop feels her empty, squishy, and kind of like a balloon. She normally eats pellets and we give the meal worms and vegetable scraps as treats. She has also lost a concerning amount of weight recently.
