Thanks @amiga. I work at a veterinary hospital as an assistant and where we are they don't know much about ducks unfortunately. I had a duck with seizures and they had no idea what to tell me. This is why I am on here.
I have a baby mallard which has hatched probably 2-3 days ago. The mother rejected it to do its condition. One eye lid is completely closed, but I can sort of open it with my finger very gently. The other side is almost closed but you can see the eye very little. Is this just a deformation? I've...
