Help duck has a cut on her eye!

[Emma89]

Does anyone know if there is anything I can put on her eye to help it from getting infected? I came home from work and my drake must have had some aggressive sexy time and she ended up with several feathers pulled from her neck and a cut above her eye. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will attach a photo thanks!

Rinse the eye with saline recipes online. Then Terramycin eye ointment. It’s great for helping heal and prevent infection.

Thanks I will try this!

Be sure to let us know how she is doing.

I'd bet that it would heal fine on it's own.
I took on a couple orphan ducks and the drake had to let them know that he was in charge.
I literally thought that one of the orphans was going to lose an eye, but it healed fine.
The two loners are the orphans. They integrated eventually, but spooked the whole flock quite a bit in the interim.

Update: She (Darla) is doing better today. I made the decision to separate my drake from my hens last night he’s started to become very aggressive with the girls. Hopefully after a cool of period I can try and reintroduce him back into the flock with out any problems. Thanks again for all the support and advice!
